How Do I Add the Quick Access Folders in Win 10 to XYPlorer Default Tab View?

[bissettbd]

I cannot figure out how to duplicate the Quick Access Folders (the folders I selected and pinned in Win 10 File Explorer) to appear in the default tab view of XYplorer???

Afaik the only way to display them in XY is via scripting (on a button, catalog, whatever...) e.g. via:

Code: Select all

    $psContent = <<<>>>
        $o = new-object -com shell.application
        foreach ($item in $o.Namespace("shell:::{679f85cb-0220-4080-b29b-5540cc05aab6}").Items()) {
            Write-Output  "$($item.Name)|$($item.Path)"
        }
    >>>;
    $tmpFile = "%TEMP%\~tempPS.ps1";
    writefile($tmpFile, $psContent);
    $items = trim(runret("""powershell.exe"" -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File ""$tmpFile""", , 65001), <crlf>, "R");

    $menu = "";
    foreach($item, $items, <crlf>, "e") {
        $caption = gettoken($item, 1, "|");
        $path    = gettoken($item, 2, "|");
        $menu   .= $caption . "|" . $path . "|" . $path . <crlf>;
    }
    $sel = popupmenu($menu, 6:=<crlf>, 7:="|");
    if ($sel) { goto $sel; }

Cool hack!

OK, if I run the script where should I see the Quick Access folders appear?
Can it be set to run each time the program is started?
Thanks,

Normally at the current cursor position.

XY can be started with command line parameters.
E.g.: XYplorer.exe /script="show quick access folders.xys"
While the file would need to be in <xyscripts> when not called with full path
