Q1.I found a script to make a sidebar on the left.

How can I display the sidebar on the right?

Code: Select all

^N::PostMessage, 0x111, 31492,, SHELLDLL_DefView1,A

Q2.How can I automatically sort the files in shell.exprlorer by name without pressing the shortcut key?

Code: Select all

^D::EXPLORER.navigate("C:\Users\Computer\Downloads")

It works well.

Code: Select all

^D::EXPLORER.navigate("C:\Users\A_username\Downloads")

It's not working.

Code: Select all

^D::EXPLORER.navigate("C:\Users\%A_username%\Downloads")

It's not working.

Code: Select all

^D::EXPLORER.navigate("A_username\Downloads")

It's not working.

Code: Select all

^D::EXPLORER.navigate("%A_username%\Downloads")

It's not working.

Q3.How can I move the download folder using the A_username?

You have to define explorer in order to make EXPLORER.navigate() work.

There is simplest way you can do that,

Code: Select all

^D::run, C:\Users\%A_username%\Downloads

if you are really into COM shell.application then following example might clear why EXPLORER.navigate() didn't worked

Code: Select all

objShell := ComObjCreate("shell.application")
return
^C::objShell.Explore("C:\")
C::objShell.Open("C:\")

following links has good example how you can sort file in explorer using COM
