My Code Pastes but not in Explorer Window

[pivotphone]

Hi Guys, I am hoping to use

Code: Select all

!/::
send, C:\Users\stefan.whitt\Symec\Marketing - Documents\Marketing\Marketing\Campaigns\September
return

This works in chrome and other programs, but doesn't work when trying to enter the path in a save dialog box in windows.

Any thoughts why this might not be working?

Perhaps https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm#uac.
Edit: Here, sending to File Explorer works. But a "save dialog box in windows" might belong to a different program with different permissions, I guess...

It doesn't work how? Nothing pasted at all (then see above), or wrong characters? In the latter case, I would try {text} mode with send/sendinput.

This worked in Microsoft Word.

Code: Select all

user := StrReplace(A_Desktop, "\Desktop")

!/:: ; ALT-/
SoundBeep, 1500
SendInput %user%\Symec\Marketing - Documents\Marketing\Marketing\Campaigns\September\
Return
