Is there anyway to get fraps to launch from steam ??

I been trying to add fraps to my steam list as a shortcut but it fails to launch...

Does anyone know of a way to get this to work ??

Why not just add it to your taskbar?

I know I didn't answer your question but why would you want to launch it from steam when it would be quicker launching it from the taskbar.

can you not drag it into start up so it's always running?

Make it launch with the PC, put it into startup

Yeah, who cares if it's running? It's not like you press the hotkey for vids? Lol!
