Open folder / activate folderwindow

[atvaxtr]

Hi everybody,
I need a Script like this

If WinExists "D:\Dowloads\Pics" Then
    WinActivate "D:\Dowloads\Pics"
Else
    Run("Explorer.exe " & "D:\Dowloads\Pics")
EndIf

But how can I check wether the Window with a specif PATH is already opened / exists....?

Thank you very much

@atvaxtr You could use the AutoIt Window info tool to get title and text of the window, which should then work with WinExists. This works fine for me (pointed at my pictures directory):

If WinExists("Pictures", "C:\Users\LoganJ\Pictures") Then
    WinActivate("Pictures", "C:\Users\LoganJ\Pictures")
Else
    ShellExecute(@UserProfileDir & "\Pictures")
EndIf

Alternatively, you can use WinList to get a list of all windows open that conform to either your title or text specifications, and use that to determine the window's existence. Try something like this to see what I mean:

#include <Array.au3>

_ArrayDisplay(WinList("Pictures", "C:\Users\LoganJ"))

WOW, first answer = exact solution. What a great feeling

Thank you so much JLogan! my code works like a charm now
The second code via Array looks interesting too. I definitly will try it out.

Have a nice day everybody
