I'm not positive, but I think that you want to multiply the last set by 2/3.

As I am just really guessing, could you please type out what lines you think I should change with the errors in it removed and your corrections in their place?

Thanks

Please can you post your code inside tags? You can do this by selecting your code and pressing the "Code" button just above the box where you write your post.

It makes it much easier for people to see what is going on

I forgot how I did the first one so all I did was make a copy of the original and then edit it and save under a different name.

I gave the code above I used?

Can't you just correct that for me please?

Thanks

What do you actually want in each section of the screen? Please clarify which window you want in each third of the screen, then we can help.

If you want to move a window to the "right side" third of the screen, do something like the following:



Or alternatively:

Thanks,

All I want is 12 instances (4 x 3) of the Directories 'scriptural_data ' spread across the screen in 3 lots each 1/3rd of the screen wide.

So the screen would look like -

Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 4 x scriptural_data windows
Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 4 x scriptural_data windows
Right Hand Side of screen = G:\ 4 x scriptural_data windows.

(C:, F:, G: = my drives)

I presume that if I later wanted sub folders within scriptural_data directory I would change to say e.g. C:\scriptural_data\nephilim so the sub-folder ' nephillim ' would open automatically. Is that correct?

Ultimately therefore I would like to dictate what sub-folders I want across the screen e.g. -

Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 1 x scriptural_data\nephilim window
Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 1 x scriptural_data\reasonable_faith window
Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 1 x scriptural_data\theologyweb window
Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 1 x scriptural_data\yuku window


Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 1 x scriptural_data\nephilim window
Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 1 x scriptural_data\reasonable_faith window
Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 1 x scriptural_data\theologyweb window
Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 1 x scriptural_data\yuku window


Right Hand 1/3rd of screen = G:\ 1 x scriptural_data/nephilim window
Right Hand 1/3rd of screen = G:\ 1 x scriptural_data\reasonable_faith window
Right Hand 1/3rd of screen = G:\ 1 x scriptural_data\theologyweb window
Right Hand 1/3rd of screen = G:\ 1 x scriptural_data\yuku window


Many thanks for your kind help.

Sorry I edited my original post, probably while you were posting a reply. Did you see what I put?



I have absolutely no idea why you would want so many Explorer windows open... especially 3 copies of each showing the same folder... It seems like a very inefficient way of doing whatever it is you want to do with this code.

If you feel like it, try to explain why you want these windows, and exactly what kind of thing you are trying to do, and we will probably be able to show you a *much* easier way of doing it...

Thanks again for your patience

1. I don't undertand where in the Code i gave where I insert your bit of Code?


2. I want to back up files in folders I use daily on my F: & G: drives so I have 3 copies in case of drive crashes.

The typical folders I use daily were as I laid out -

Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 1 x scriptural_data\nephilim window
Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 1 x scriptural_data\reasonable_faith window
Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 1 x scriptural_data\theologyweb window
Left Hand 1/3rd of screen = C:\ 1 x scriptural_data\yuku window


Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 1 x scriptural_data\nephilim window
Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 1 x scriptural_data\reasonable_faith window
Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 1 x scriptural_data\theologyweb window
Middle 1/3rd of screen = F:\ 1 x scriptural_data\yuku window


Right Hand 1/3rd of screen = G:\ 1 x scriptural_data/nephilim window
Right Hand 1/3rd of screen = G:\ 1 x scriptural_data\reasonable_faith window
Right Hand 1/3rd of screen = G:\ 1 x scriptural_data\theologyweb window
Right Hand 1/3rd of screen = G:\ 1 x scriptural_data\yuku window

I can't think of any other way but IF you can that would be wonderful thanks

Many thanks

In your vision of splitting the screen into thirds, all of the windows widths would be A_ScreenWidth/3.

There will be 3 different left-hand edges at 0/3, 1/3 and 2/3 of the screen width.
0/3 =>0
1/3 => A_ScreenWidth/3
2/3 => A_ScreenWidth *2/3

I took the last script you posted sometime early AM (Pacific) Posted: Tue Apr 27, 2010
Here is your script, corrected.

That seems to be working fine!

Many thanks again, much appreciated.

Thank you

Now my 2nd computer I would like -

Split in to 4 across screen each 1/4 of screen

I have tried to guess but only limited success -


That would set me up nicely if you can make it work please?

Thanks a million for your patience

PLEASE POST YOUR SCRIPT USING CODE TAGS! IS THAT CLEAR?

I corrected you last script and you liked the result; but you did not learn from that reply

Let me try it a different way: here is the explanation -- the thought process

If all windows are to be the same width, then it follows that all should have the same "width" parameter. Does this make sense

Also, the x parameter would follow a natural progression
A_ScreenWidth *0/4 ; this is the left edge of the screen
A_ScreenWidth *1/4
A_ScreenWidth *2/4
A_ScreenWidth *3/4
A_ScreenWidth *4/4 ; this is the right edge of the screen !! Don't use this unless you have more than one screen


Please look at the winmove command and the way you are filling the parameters

Please carefully correct your script and try again

I tried many combinations on my other computer.

I am lost and not getting it.

This is about my third time in my life I have ever tried to write this type of code. All attempts have been at this forum only.

It is not something I intend doing regularly. I simply want to get two Codes that will enable me to get on with what I really want to do.

Thanks

Here is your 4 across script, corrected.
I only changed the two parameters I mentioned in my prior post.
