Run software,folder,text and more

[Bamse]

I am trying to open a folder with the run command but I can't get it to work, I have the same problem with text files.

#RequireAdmin
Run(@ScriptDir & '‪‪C:\Users\William\Desktop\BilderFinder')

I think the problem is that I am trying to run a .exe file or that it's looking for one. 

And can someone explain @ScriptDir ?

Thank you!

You can also run directly like:

 

$sFile = "C:\Windows\notepad.exe"

ShellExecute($sFile)
; or
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & '"' & $sFile & '"', "", @SW_HIDE)

@Bamse to answer your earlier question @scriptdir is a macro that will result in the path of your script (.e. c:\somepath\etc).  Therefore, when you do @scriptdir & c:\whatever you are basically creating two paths and combining the strings: "c:\etcc:\etc".  You can see this if you write it to the console or a message box.  See the help file for more information on macros.
