This code after modification.
Note: I know this code can be shortened, but anyway it does the job .

Code: Select all

; Open a specific folder and select the most recent file


Folder = C:\Users\HiSoKa\Downloads\ ; change this to the actual folder

Loop, %Folder%\*
	
{

     FileGetTime, Time, %A_LoopFileFullPath%, C

     If (Time > Time_Orig)

     {

          Time_Orig := Time

          File := A_LoopFileName

     }

}

MsgBox, Newest file in %Folder% is %File%
FullLoc = %Folder%%File%


MyPath := % FullLoc
OpenAndSelect(MyPath)
return

OpenAndSelect(sFullPath)
{
	SplitPath sFullPath, , sPath
	FolderPidl := DllCall("shell32\ILCreateFromPath", "Str", sPath)
	DllCall("shell32\SHParseDisplayName", "str", sFullPath, "Ptr", 0, "Ptr*", ItemPidl, "Uint", 0, "Uint*", 0)
	DllCall("shell32\SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems", "Ptr", FolderPidl, "UInt", 1, "Ptr*", ItemPidl, "Int", 0)
	CoTaskMemFree(FolderPidl)
	CoTaskMemFree(ItemPidl)
}

CoTaskMemFree(pv)
{
	Return   DllCall("ole32\CoTaskMemFree", "Ptr", pv)
}
