Open a Directory ?

What is your goal here ?

[the_lord_mephy]

Just to open the directory so u can see all of the files that are in it.

mmmh.. you mean start explorer at a specified directory like this ?

$StartDir = "c:\windows"
Run("Explorer " & $StartDir)

is there a way you can just start it w/o using internet explorer?

You are asking to start it... what do you mean ?

whoops sry i didnt see what u were saying, but i just tried it and now nothing happens, would i do something like this?

$dir = C:\Program Files\NewDir1
DirCreate($dir)
MsgBox(0, "Directory Created", "Directory: " &$dir& " created.")
$goto = MsgBox(4, "Directory Created", "Go there now?")
If $goto = 4 Then
   Run("Explorer " & $dir)
EndIf
If $goto = 7 Then
   Exit
EndIf

No problem...Have a look at this version and see if that works for you:

-

$dir = "C:\Program Files\NewDir1"
if NOT FileExists($dir) then 
   DirCreate($dir)
   MsgBox(0, "Directory Created", "Directory: " &$dir& " created.")
EndIf
$goto = MsgBox(4, "Directory Created", "Go there now?")
If $goto = 6 Then ; Yes clicked
   Run("Explorer " & $dir)
EndIf

ok now im trying to make it so the person who runs it can specefy a directory. but i cant get it to quit if they click the cancel button. this is what i have so far

$dir = InputBox("Enter Directory Name", "Please enter a directory. If it does not exist it will be created", "C:\")
If $dir = @error 1 Then
   Exit
EndIf
If FileExists($dir) Then
   MsgBox(0, "Directory Existed", "Directory: " &$dir& " was found.")
EndIf
If NOT FileExists($dir) then 
   DirCreate($dir)
   MsgBox(0, "Directory Created", "Directory: " &$dir& " created.")
EndIf
$goto = MsgBox(4, "Go there?", "Would you like to go there now?")
If $goto = 6 Then
   Run("Explorer " & $dir)
EndIf
