Automate options in windows 7

I would like to access quickly to folder options in the windows explorer.

Tools-Folder Options-View

How can I do that with a script recorder or a designed script ?

Best Regards

Bring up the Control Panel folder and then simply drag the "Folder Options" link to your Desktop (or wherever).

Alternatively of you want to access it quickly from within Windows Explorer you could drag it to the Favorites list at the top of the tree pane.

Done, but I don't see the path to that option to put in Goldmine as a link.

How can i do that ?

Running to try. I am using FileBox eXtender for favorite folders.

sorry : I don't see the favorites list at the top of the tree pane. Where is it ?

I tried this :
C:\Users\JOSE\Desktop\AccesosW7\AD SISTEMA\Opciones de carpeta - Acceso directo.lnk

good results in my case

In english :

c:\users\<USER>\Desktop\AccesosW7\AD Sistema\ is a folder I create for this purpose.
I only copy the direct links and then I can put the link in Goldmine

Best Regards

Should be right at the top.

And I use FileBox Extender for that too - plus I get a lot of mileage from pinning and rolling up windows. I've thought about getting a commercial program for it (don't remember the name) but the minor glitches aren't quite annoying enough for that.

Rename the attached file to temp.bat instead of temp.bat.txt. Then all you have to do is double click it

Thanks you very much. I am organizing all the bat's files.

I love scripting

I had a menu back in my XP days that had a listing of all of the rundll32 commands I frequently used and let me press 1-40 to launch them

Perhaps do you know where is that splendid multilauncher ?

Josh · « **Reply #21 on:** January 26, 2014, 07:49 PM »

That is long gone, but I can generate a shell batch file, or perhaps skwire might generate a shell autohotkey script for you

Autohotkey is the more modern way

Contro · « **Reply #22 on:** January 26, 2014, 08:36 PM »

Don't worry. That's the idea.
I remember I have somewhere special and simple menus made with AHK or similar. Definible. That is the number or rows and files.
I have that menues created, but finally there are so many launchers tools that I finish with my beloved Goldmine.
but i will put the link.
I must have somewhere.

rundll32 can do some really cool things if you have the patience to find the right arguments - or at least the forethought to keep notes when you find them.

I found it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! incredible

Incredible !!!!!!!

its very simple.
Un pack the files in a folder
the launch.ini file is for configuration. You can configure so may rows and columns you need. I recommend not so many because is you have a tiny screen may have problems to locate the options.
You can edit the paths to be launched even from the executable file .ahk extension.
Yo you will need to have installed the wonderful autohotkey_L or similar. Exist a similar version for Autoit i have too. but at the past moment i selected the ahk option.
