!popupMyComputer might be what you want?

No, I want to open WINDOW of My Computer, not menu :]

Define this in evars.rc or personal.rc:

MyComputer "explorer.exe /n,/e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" ; use CLSID

Then assign your popup entry to $MyComputer$. You'll need to assign a custom icon to that, as it won't have a default icon.

don't do that...use $Drives$ which is defined by the core...no extra defining needed.

That'll always open in the standard view rather than the treeview though, won't it, or is there some other way to force that option? I always use the treeview. I *can* simplify my definition to this though:

MyComputer "explorer.exe /n,/e,$drives$"

Boreas, tnx I want that, but how to open explorer, without toolbar (folders) on left?


PS: $drives$ don't work, but $Drives$ - yes :]

LS evars are not case sensitive, so $drives$ is identical to $Drives$. If you *don't* want the folders on the left, then by all means just use $drives$, it's much simpler.

ok, sorry, now it works... but I still have a folders on left... I don't want them, and I must still turn them off after I open my computer, my documents, or other folder opened by explorer :/

You have folders on the left if you just use "$drives", rather than "explorer.exe /n,/e,$drives$"? That doesn't happen for me.

I have a label "mycomp" and I use this:
mycompOnLeftClick !execute ["$FileManager$" /n,/e,"$drives$"]
and it works, when I'll put this:
mycompOnLeftClick "explorer.exe /n,/e,$drives$"
- don't work
mycompOnLeftClick !execute ["explorer.exe /n,/e,$drives$"]
- don't work
mycompOnLeftClick !execute ["explorer.exe" "/n,/e,$drives$"]
- it opens "C:" in a fullscreen without folders on left

so please, write me, what i have to put in mycompOnLeftClick to open MyComputer with explorer.exe ($FileManager$), not in fullscreen and without folders on left :) thanks

Ignore me...In retrospect, my response wasn't overly helpful. :P

!Execute ["$FileManager$" /s, "$Drives$"]

If you dont want the common tasks on the left switch it off
using the tools menu - folder options - use windows classic folders.
This shuts off all menus on the left now using the file manager.

Hope that's what you needed...

This works fine for me (no folders on left):

mycompOnLeftClick $drives$

The fullscreen thing is determined by how you last used/sized that window. Manually adjust the window to the desired size and then it should open that way in the future.

thanks :D
Boreas - it works how I want, but I use transparency for explorer.exe by windowfx and it don't apply it to this window, but if I will put that what Immortal wrote it work very well :D

Thanks one more time
