Simple File Explorer Fix
Posted: 13 May 2018, 01:17
Here's my solution to a problem that's been plaguing me for years, but is there something better? (Purer, more programmatic code than that found in my newbie script below?)
When I open the File Explorer window, the scrollbar is always halfway down so you can't even see the (so called) Quick Access zone. You have to scroll up to reveal what should by default be the most visible zone. Anyway, this script solves it. (IDK if this issue is peculiar only to Windows 10, or indeed only to my computer.)

Code: Select all
; This ensures that when you open File Explorer, the Quick Access area shows so you don't have to scroll up to it.
; This has no hotkey because I put the code into my AHK startup script so it's always in the background. Maybe a bad idea?
#If WinActive("ahk_class CabinetWClass")
; click in left side of screen, then scroll up to show the Quick Access items
Click, 48, 55
Loop 5
Click, WheelUp
return
#If
