kambodianboi Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hey guys, this is an odd problem. I created a very simple file browser, explorer alternative. Just a simple script like this, #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2") ; Create a simple GUI for our output GUICreate("Explorer Test", 640, 580,(@DesktopWidth-640)/2, (@DesktopHeight-580)/2, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN)) $GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj( $oIE, 0, 0 , 640 , 580 ) GUISetState ();Show GUI $oIE.navigate("file://c:\") Do Sleep(100) Until NOT $oIE.Busy While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE GUIDelete () $oIE = 0; Remember to free object Exit EndSelect Wend Exit It works, but in Windows 2000, when you try to open a folder within this application. It will open it in a new window, not in itself. Unlike in Vista or WinXP. Anyone have any possible ideas on how to make only open folders in itself?

Anyone have any possible ideas on how to make only open folders in itself?As I recall that was one of many quirks in Win 2K and I don't think you can do anything about it. Dale may have an idea but I'm pretty sure that what you are seeing is default behaviour for 2000. You might be able to do something in Folder Options by making sure that it is set to re-use the existing window and not "Launch folder windows in a separate process" or whatever term it was in 2000 George Question about decompiling code? Read the decompiling FAQ and don't bother posting the question in the forums.Be sure to read and follow the forum rules. -AKA the AutoIt Reading and Comprehension Skills test.*** The PCRE (Regular Expression) ToolKit for AutoIT - (Updated Oct 20, 2011 ver:3.0.1.13) - Please update your current version before filing any bug reports.
