Open Multiple File Shortcuts at Once

[mikeshick]

Is there something that could be used to open several file shortcuts at once, or even an entire folder of shortcuts.

Scripting

You should be able to just select them (lnk files?) and press Enter on keyboard.

[mikeshick]

only one at a time at the moment. I would have thought the same.

Are the lnk files all to files that would open in the same app?

Try set this tweak:

OpenAllSelectedInMultipleInstances=1

follow these instructions exactly on how to tweak: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak

No...but some are.

When you select multiple normal non lnk files and press Enter does it open them all in that circumstance?

Try that tweak anyway, then retry with Enter.

Anyway, here is a very basic bare bones script that should work on selected files if "File | Open Selected Item(s)" doesn't either.

foreach($f, <selitems |>) { open $f; }

Worked perfectly. Thank you so much.
