Need Commands for Special Folders

[arirish]

First off, please excuse me if I've used the wrong terminology in my title at all, but I hope I can explain clearly what I'm looking for regardless.

Basically I need commands (or functions??) which will open the following locations/dialogs (in XP):
The Run dialog
The Printers & Faxes window
The Network Connections window

I realise a) it may not be possible to open said windows in XYplorer itself, so WE is fine, and b) that I have Run dialog functionality in the addressbar, but I would still like to know if I can do this.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, don't know.
Use an VBScript with sendkeys Win+R

I have compiled an AutoHotkey script to exe to do just this (send #r)

Call_RunAs-Dialog_0.01_nonupx.zip

If you want you can try my independent stand-alone AHK RunAsTool

The Printers & Faxes window

The Network Connections window

Tools > Tools Special > Map Network Drive
or

Hmm, thanks, but none of those seem to do the trick. The Printers thing is some sort of registry key (not sure how I'd use that in a script), and the Map Network Drives isn't what I wanted - it's the Network Connections folder which is accessed through the Control Panel.

As for the Run thing... I may give that a try later, I'd rather not download anything new. Is it possible to simulate keypresses with scripting?

Network Connections folder: enter this through the address bar:
::{7007acc7-3202-11d1-aad2-00805fc1270e}

You can find more of these things in the web...

Thanks, I see they work through the AB, but I'm trying to put them in a CTB menu... how would I get that to work?

In a script you would do:

Code: Select all

goto "::{7007acc7-3202-11d1-aad2-00805fc1270e}";

Ah, got it! Thanks
