[Moderator's note: Topic moved from Bug Reports.]

Hello, I find a small bug:

Code: Select all

runFolder(pathOfFolder)
{
	Run, %pathOfFolder%
}

<+^f::
runFolder("C:\Users\%A_UserName%\Desktop") ; FAILED to open my desktop folder
return

However,

Code: Select all

<+^f::
test = C:\Users\%A_UserName%\Desktop ; OK to open my desktop folder
; test = "C:\Users\%A_UserName%\Desktop" ; OK to open my desktop folder
; test := "C:\Users\%A_UserName%\Desktop" ; FAILED to open my desktop folder
runFolder(test)
return

How to successfully call runFolder("C:\Users\%A_UserName%\Desktop")?

[swagfag]

its runFolder("C:\Users\" A_UserName "\Desktop")

[pythonker]

its runFolder("C:\Users\" A_UserName "\Desktop")

Thanks for your solution, I try this and still fail to open folder

Code: Select all

runFolder("%USERPROFILE%\Desktop")

[swagfag]

u can try one of these

Code: Select all

runFolder(A_Desktop)
runFolder("explorer %USERPROFILE%\Desktop")

Swagfag's original solution is correct. You must have mistyped something, or the problem is your OS. The follwoing works fine under Windows 7.

Code: Select all

runFolder(pathOfFolder)
{
        Run, %pathOfFolder%
}

<+^f::
runFolder("C:\Users\" A_UserName "\Desktop") ; FAILED to open my desktop folder
return

Yes, his solution is correct at all.

runFolder("explorer %USERPROFILE%\Desktop")

Thanks for your kind suggestion, I test the first one and it is ok to open desktop, but the second one opens my document not my desktop, strangely.
