<< < (2/11) > >>

apfel:
Would the location to change it to be a static list of folders, or would it be a different location each time?

Er,... A function to add/edit diffrent Desktop Folders to right-click menu of tray icon.
What do you mean with diffrent location each time?

Basically, I could hard code a set of locations so you would just click on that location and that would become the new desktop folder.

belkira:
Something like this, just edit the ini file created with the paths you want.

Could you eyplain, how to use it or to compile into a exe?
I never used AutoHotKey scripts before.

belkira:
Sure, sorry.....To use it as is you will need to install AHK. then copy/paste the code into notepad or whatever editor you like and save it as something.ahk. Then just double click on that file to run it.

To use it, just right click on its tray icon and select which of the 4 paths you want to be used as your "Desktop"

To use the exe just download and double click.

The ini file looks like this:

--- ---Locations]
dir1=%USERPROFILE%\Desktop
dir2=Location 2
dir3=Location 3
dir4=Location 4

Just change locations 2-4 to be whatever location you want. Then reload the script.
There is a reload option on the right click menu.

Let me know if you need more clarification.
