A small thing that buggs me! Thread last updated on 2003-11-23 05:56:07

Hi!

I have installed LS earlier today. And I just LOVE it. And I might later on do my own skin some day.

Back to my question... When I open File manager it opens the My documents folder.

Is there a way to get to open My computer instead??

I know, this is a really small thing. But it is really bugging me. So is there some one that know how I can change this??

sounds like your theme is setup to do that... Check your config for that item and make sure it points to $FileManager$ and that $FileManager$ points to explorer.exe in your evar config.

if opening explorer in C:\ root dir is okay for you, you could edit the 'filemanager' line in popup.rc to read:
*popup "filemanager" "$filemanager$ /E,C:\ "
(it needs a recycle of course before it takes effect)

well... you could do basically the same thing like this:
*popup "filemanager" "$filemanager$ /E,$Drives$"

to get it to open in my computer i believe

alternately, $drives$ alone will always open an explorer view of my computer.

i use this:
*Popup "file manager" "$FileManager$" "$Drives$"

Hum..... I have been trying all sort of stuff. I even commented the line with the ;. And alla the file manager shortcuts still work.

So I would guess that there is something in my Theme that overides this line in my personal popup.rc.

But maybe this is for the bether. Now there are things that I want to have changed and will be more willing to learn how LS works and how I can do my own skin ;)

firebird: you need to recycle first before changes take effect....

Posted by member 85840 on 2003-11-23 04:59:34 link

Yes I know that I need to recycle... But I still cant get it to work....

I have been trying lots of stuff. But I have one question. Do I need to put the code in a specific place???

Or is any place att random okay?

lol

Okay. Now I get it..... It hase been work al along. But only inte diffrent menues that have the filemanager a a shourtcut. But I was using the Windosbutton + E and it dident work then.

Any idea how I get it to work when I use the Windosbutton + E???

I have found the answere to my question....

In my personal file hotkey.rs I changed the *Hotkey WIN E $filemanager$ to *Hotkey WIN E "$filemanager$" /E,"$Drives$"

Works nicely :)

And thank you all for the help you have been giving me :D
