The following script will open up the requested Windows System Folder. You don't need to know where the desired folder is buried; you only need to know the name.
------------------- -- text in fld 1 -- ------------------- explorer "shell:Common Start Menu" ------------------- -- script in button ------------------- on mouseUp set hideConsoleWindows to true put shell(fld 1) into IGNORE end mouseUp ------------------- -- gotchas ------------------- Without the IGNORE you get the msg box popping up. You need quotes because of the spaces in some folder names. No spaces around the comma. Not sure why "explorer" is needed, but it seems to be required for the folder names with spaces. Folllowing is a list of the Vista Folders. You could put these in a fld and click on your choice. I've seen a similar list for XP and 7, but I can't seem to find it right now. Perhaps someone can locate it. ----------------------- Vista System Folders ----------------------- AddNewProgramsFolder Administrative Tools AppData AppUpdatesFolder Cache CD Burning ChangeRemoveProgramsFolder Common Administrative Tools Common AppData Common Desktop Common Documents Common Programs Common Start Menu Common Startup Common Templates CommonDownloads CommonMusic CommonPictures CommonVideo ConflictFolder ConnectionsFolder Contacts ControlPanelFolder Cookies CredentialManager CryptoKeys CSCFolder Default Gadgets Desktop Downloads DpapiKeys Favorites Fonts Gadgets Games GameTasks History InternetFolder Links Local AppData LocalAppDataLow LocalizedResourcesDir MAPIFolder My Music My Pictures My Video MyComputerFolder NetHood -- Network Shortcuts NetworkPlacesFolder OEM Links Original Images Personal PhotoAlbums Playlists PrintersFolder PrintHood Profile ProgramFiles ProgramFilesX64 (in 64-bit systems) ProgramFilesX86 (in 64-bit systems) ProgramFilesCommon ProgramFilesCommonX64 (in 64-bit systems) ProgramFilesCommonX86 (in 64-bit systems) Programs Public PublicGameTasks Quick Launch Recent RecycleBinFolder ResourceDir SampleMusic SamplePictures SamplePlaylists SampleVideos SavedGames Searches SearchHomeFolder SendTo Start Menu Startup SyncCenterFolder SyncResultsFolder SyncSetupFolder System SystemCertificates SystemX86 Templates TreePropertiesFolder UserProfiles UsersFilesFolder Windows --------------- -- End of List --------------- _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
