I have zillions of textshortcuts I use. I have 5000 lines - that makes up maybe 1000 textshortcuts. I wanted to know is there a limit? Am I bogging down my computer resources loading the file? Sometimes it loads - but text shortcuts don't work - I simply reload - and it works. 1000 textshortcuts - I...

Re: Shortcuts for launching programs

Shortcuts for launching programs
Say I want to launch Powerpoint or Word or Excel or something else.
How do I specify the path of the program?
I would like universal so I can take it to another computer and use the code there.
Thanks.

Re: How to launch a program AND delete the autokey text
@Rohwedder That's awesome.
What does the *X do?
I've never come across that before.
Just one problem...
The code runs as soon as I hit the last character.
I don't want this.
I want it to execute when the space bar is pressed at the end or the return key is pressed.
How can I get this?
Thanks.

How to get time and date as a string of numbers
I need to store time in a table in a database.
Ideally, I would like to just have a string of numbers: 485432958743095.
How do I get in this format?
And what is the formula for decoding the time and date to readable format?
Thanks.

@Sir Teddy the First
Awesome
I just checked Windows Spy. I think that will do the trick for me. I didn't realise each tab would have a different title.
