MilesAhead Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 If I understand you correctly, only one Explorer window is to exist. Any display should use that window only. My thinking would be to check for explorer.exe already running. If so, make the window active and use Send() to put the characters into the addresss line. I dib;t know of any command line switch that prevents a new window from opening, if say the user has the system set to open folders in a new window. The macro approach is the only one I can think of in this case. My Freeware Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercadantelaura Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Thanks MilesAhead for reply. I have proved to do this but when i send into adress Bar all string, it is not submited using function send if there are "space" into folder name example "c:My Folder 1" I have asked on forum for this function to open folder in same session because installing program "classic shell" http://www.classicshell.net/ in its toolbar i can create a lots cutom button with shortcut to all folders that i want inserting prefix "open". Infact if i create 2 or more buttons using OPEN C:My Folder 1 OPEN C:My Folder 2 and cliccking on them explorer change folder in same windows without opening more sessions of it I need to do the same thing but using script command for my other use. How this program send correct instructions to explorer ?? If someone have solution please give me help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somdcomputerguy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Maybe the _IEAttach function will be useful here? You should probably use the conditional statement Switch, since all your Cases are the same. It'll save you some typing anyway.. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercadantelaura Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Nothing to do with _IEattach, explorer don't open folder. I have proved also _ieNavigate and _IEcreate and with _IECreate, script causes an error of While-Wend into function. I'm disconsolate to don't find solution, when using program "Classic shell" i need to insert in the button that i'm creating only word "open" before destination folder to obtain that i want. :-(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somdcomputerguy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Nothing to do with _IEattach, explorer don't open folder. My bad. I confused Explorer with Internet Explorer. Sorry 'bout that. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercadantelaura Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) I have send mail to author of program "classic shell" in order to know how he has realized this. He don't uses script but has sended me links that help me for my design: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2013/04/22/10412906.aspx ....and this.... http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/07/20/188696.aspx ..but i don't know this kind of script. Please some member can look links in order to understand, (if you know that code), if script do that i'm looking for and if is possible to convert it into AutoIT script ? Thanks again Edited October 6, 2013 by mercadantelaura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercadantelaura Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) The only way that i have done to do this (also if it is very bad way) is insert in a variable the actual path of active window (from Windows title), then close active Windows and open again explorer with Run ("explorer & "variable") It takes 1 second each folder that i want open but is only way found to do this. :-(( Edited October 8, 2013 by mercadantelaura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
