Setting Folders To My Popup Menu Thread last updated on 2004-01-28 20:59:21

I've got some folders (D:\Program Files\Start Menu\Graphics) for example I would like to add to my main popup menu. I have them in my popups start menu area, but each folder contains a few shortcuts, and instead of displaying those shortcuts it just says 'target.' Well I need to know how to display all the items and how to have these folders int he main menu of my popup. Thanks.

I think this is what you're asking for:
*Popup "Folder name" !DynamicFolder:path

Thank you, I'll go test this out now.

Well the folders show up in my main popup, but all my shortcuts to programs arent listed, it just expands to en empty line.

this is what i did to put program files on my pop menu.
*Popup "Program Files" "C:\Program Files"

Thanks for trying to help, but all that does is add it to the pop-up. It doesn't expand at all. I need it so that it is on the popup and when I hover my mouse over it, it expands, showing me the shortcuts I have in that directory.

what theme do you have? I guess try a different one and make sure you have the newest modules and builds, and that the theme uses them.

I'm using Compuglobalhypermeganet and it downloaded all the modules itself so I'd asume they are up to date. Damn this problem is annoying.

I just downloaded the theme from this site too so it should be up to date. It's my favorite theme.

I tried about 20 different themes so I know the problem isn't theme dependant. Any other ideas?

Um, can you paste the exact *Popup line you added? Look at the other lines in popup.rc, they should give you an idea how this stuff works. If not, check the docs.

well, *Popup "Program Files" "C:\Program Files" is wrong. it should be:
*popup "program files" !dynamicfolder:"C:\program files"

Posted by member 96430 on 2004-01-28 20:58:08 link

*Popup "gaming" !DynamicFolder:d:\program files\start menu\gaming
*Popup "graphics" !DynamicFolder:d:\program files\start menu\graphics



*Popup "system" Folder

; *Popup "shells" Folder
; *Popup "explorer" !execute ["$LiteStepDir$utilities\SetShell.exe" "explorer.exe"]
; *Popup "blackbox" !execute ["$LiteStepDir$utilities\SetShell.exe" "d:\blackbox\blackbox.exe"]
; *Popup ~Folder



That top part is the code I put in. It puts the folders there, the expand, but there is nothing in the expanded part. I want my shortcuts to photoshop, counterstrike and so forth displayed there.

this is what it looks like now:

Oh wow I see it now, I forgot the second set of quotes. Thanks to all for the help they gave.
