I've got a *Popup like

*Popup Control Pannel !Execute "C:\Program Files\litestep\themes\personal\shortcuts\controlpannel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
which will open the control pannel (the name already says) and there are also windows shortcuts like myfiles.lnk executed with
*Popup My Files !Execute "C:\Program Files\litestep\themes\personal\shortcuts\myfiles.lnk"
and it is working, BUT when I access them the floppy drive trys to access a floppy disk. This causes a delay of ~1-2 seconds. It's okay during develeoping a theme but hey, it's really annoying in a real working environment.

Do you know how to pass the problem?

Does it really work ?
What about puting quotes around the popup tile and removing the !Execute []

sounds like your lnk does not define a full path. If you define a full path it will not search %path% and hit your floppy

Sorry, where can I define a full path for the .lnks ?

Leaving out the !Execute bang command, ex:

*Popup control panel "C:\Program Files\litestep\themes\personal\shortcuts\controlpanel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

won't help, same problem again.

Find the LNK file on your hard drive and pull up the properties and you can define the folder to look at.

Apart from the fact that I cannot change information for 'my computer'.lnk and 'control panel'.lnk changing at least the directory path in the 'my files'/'my documents'.lnk does not work. Are there other ways to create links/ways to open these windows-annexed folders/content windows ?
Adding c:\program files\litestep\personal\dx2\shortcuts directory to the global %PATH% environment variable also does not work... :(

"C:\Program Files\litestep\themes\personal\shortcuts\myfiles.lnk" != My Computer || Control Panel || My Documents || etc...

anyways...why are you not using the LS evars for them instead of the links?

thanks for reference to evars, now using:
*Popup "Control Panel" !Execute "explorer.exe $Controls$"
etc
no floppy seeks anymore :)
nice to know that the evars are references to Windows CLSIDs
