Newbie123 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hello All, Simple question? I'm trying to get Autoit Script to select (but not open) a folder in Windows Explorer so that I can get to the folder's ACL security properties. Any help is appreciated.

Newbie123 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hi CyberSlug, Thanks, Your script works nicely but is somewhat too complex for my needs. The script should not require any user interaction It simply needs to open a predetermined folder in explorer and hi-light "select" a sub- folder Say for example that I want the "C:\Documents and Settings" folder opened in explorer with the"Administrator" folder selected.

CyberSlug Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Run('explorer.exe /select, "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator'"') or $path = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\" Run('explorer.exe /select, ' & """" & $path & """") Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

Newbie123 Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 The first of your 2 options Run('explorer.exe /select, "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator"') works nicely in an .au3 file, I would need to translate it to an AutoitX vbscript format. doesn't seem to like the following: Dim oShell Dim oAutoIt '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ' Initialise Variables & Objects '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control") oShell.Run 'explorer.exe /select, "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator"'1, FALSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
