Script to open a folder

[Evil-e]

I have the following that works in a batch file:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "folder address"

but unsuccessful in getting it to work with an AHK script.....

Searched "script to open folder" and variations of it, but no luck. Does anyone know hot to make it work?

This works for me.

Code: Select all

F1::
Run, %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "C:\windows\system32\"
return

[flyingDman]

Code: Select all

run, C:\windows\system32

EDIT: SPOKE A BIT TOO SOON, AS I AM UNABLE TO OPEN A DIRECTORY WITH AN "&" SYMBOL

I thank you both, but @flyingDman was the solution that worked for me, after I tweaked the code a bit further

The following works fine:

Code: Select all

    Run, "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Commandmeister.exe"            ;Commandmeister.exe = custom mod to open CMD.exe
    sleep, 10
    Run, D:\Games\Alarm für Cobra 11\Nitro
    sleep, 250
    Run, G:\Games\+ INSTALLATION DIRECTORY SAVES\Alarm für Cobra 11\Nitro
    sleep, 100
    Process, Close, Commandmeister.exe

But, this does not:

Code: Select all

    Run, "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Commandmeister.exe"
    sleep, 10
    send cd /d "G:\Games\Guns, Gore & Cannoli\Profile\Evil-e"{enter}      ;no problem accessing folder and deleting empty directories
    sleep, 10
    send rmdir /q /s UGC{enter}
    sleep, 10
    send rmdir /q /s Local{enter}
    sleep, 10
    send rmdir /q /s Saves{enter}
    sleep, 10
    send rmdir /q /s Screenshots{enter}
    sleep, 10
    send rmdir /q /s SavesBackup{enter}
    sleep, 10
    send del SteamUserID.cfg{enter}
        sleep, 10
    Run, G:\Games\Guns, Gore & Cannoli                                    ;but hangs up here
    sleep, 10
    Process, Close, Commandmeister.exe

I have tried a whole bunch of variations of "cd" and with / without quotes, but the "&" symbol hangs up the open folder command....

.... any thoughts?
