I'm not getting the menu in explorer folders. I suspect it's because I'm using Vista, and Vista's address bar in explorer has different functionality than previous Windows flavors.

Anybody know how to correct for that?

You can use Window Spy to determine if the window or control class has changed.

Can somebody post the code for for UltraExplorer? Thanks in advance!
Can FolderMenu start with UltraExplorer instead of Explorer?

To be honest, for now this script is the reason I decided to use AHK even though there should be other benefits / features I will discover later on. Thanks a bunch. This even does more than the other commercial applications I have tried before.

I use this script everyday.
I found only two things missing
1. Holding Ctrl to show aubfolders causses I hardly ever use this feature
Maybe you can add rightclick to do the same? (not really hard)
2. Cause clicking on first position while in submenu(current dir) to go one level up
(little bit harder)

ad 1.
GetKeyState, f_OpenFavCState, RButton
if f_OpenFavCState = D
{
if f_OpenTempMenu(f_OpenFavPath)
return
}
/*press RMB and click LMB to open subfolder*/

For example this is my C:\windows:


When I Ctrl +click first entry i get those slashes around.
And I meant to Ctrl +click show menu of parent directory.
Btw long list like that, just asks for mouse scrolling

I know that I have big expectations, but with few features like that, this script My Computer Icon rarely used.
Especially if you add some hotkey to force menu straight from mouse.
I did this way but i have lots of buttons on my mouse and good software for it.
I'll try to write dynamic adding of drives to menu/submenu, in a week or so.

Thanks for this slick little script Rexx. I use almost daily - it's a great timesaver.

this is an awesome script...wish I had seen this sooner. It kind of gives vista or xp the Win7 function of Jump Lists so thats quite awesome. Thanks.

When I try to run the script, it complains that included file GUI.ahk cannot be opened. Presumably you need to also post this file?

Thanks,

John.

I'm another long time user of Savage's FavoriteFolders script and am finding this new version to be an excellent update. I like the icons and the registry favorites.

I've added support for Emacs, FreeCommander and Rxvt (command prompt for Cygwin shells such as bash, zsh).

Here's the code for the f_DisplayMenu subroutine, which I've added just below the existing code that handles ConsoleWindowClass:

; Emacs
if w_Class = Emacs
{
w_Edit1Pos = 1
Menu, _MainMenu, show
return
}
; FreeCommander
if w_Class = TfcForm
{
w_Edit1Pos = 1
Menu, _MainMenu, show
return
}
; Rxvt command prompt
if w_Class contains rxvt
{
w_Edit1Pos = 1
Menu, _MainMenu, show
return
}


Here's the code for the f_OpenFavorite subroutine, which I again added just below the existing code to handle ConsoleWindowClass:

; Emacs
else if w_Class = Emacs
{
SetKeyDelay, 0 ; This will be in effect only for the duration of this Thread.
Send, !xfind-file{Enter}
Send, %f_OpenFavPath%{Tab}
}
; FreeCommander
else if w_Class = TfcForm
{
SendMode,Play
Send, !g
Send, %f_OpenFavPath%{Enter}
}
; Rxvt command prompt
else if w_Class contains rxvt
{
SetKeyDelay, 0 ; This will be in effect only for the duration of this Thread.
Send, cd `'%f_OpenFavPath%`'{Enter}
Send, ls{Enter}
}
