WinExist Doesn't Work For Different Drive Letters

[zhotkey]

Hello,

I have a script that brings up a folder on my MP3 SD Drive but it opens multiple windows instead of an existing window if that window is open. It looks like WinExist doesn't recognize the window. If I run Window Spy it shows:

Code: Select all

  M:\Podcastsd
  ahk_class CabinetWClass
  ahk_exe explorer.exe
  ahk_pid 21500

This logic works as expected for the C: drive but not my M: drive?

Code: Select all

#^!m::
SetTitleMatchMode,3
IfWinExist, "M:\Podcastsd"
{
WinActivate "M:\Podcastsd"
}
else
{
Run, EXPLORER.EXE /e`, "M:\Podcastsd"
}
return

[Mod edit: [code][/code] tags added.]

These lines should not include quotation marks:

Code: Select all

IfWinExist, "M:\Podcastsd"
    WinActivate "M:\Podcastsd"

They use command/legacy syntax. Alternatively, you could force expression syntax:

Code: Select all

IfWinExist, % "M:\Podcastsd"
    WinActivate, %  "M:\Podcastsd"

See the documentation on expression vs. legacy syntax.

I'm certain that is not true. It will not work (whether C: drive or M: drive or any drive) with the quote marks in there. Regards, Joe

You are correct, I only had the double quotes on the run line, thanks again!
