If you open up a normal IE instance and navigate to a local directory, that directory will be opened in a new Explorer.exe window. However, if you instead use AHK to create a gui with an ActiveX control of Shell.Explorer and then navigate to a local directory, that will essentially render the Explorer.exe listview inside your GUI. I never knew that and wasn't sure if anyone else did. Might be useful for someone!
NOTE: The following uses AHK v2-a121 code.
Code: Select all
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0-a121
main := gui.new()
wb := main.add("ActiveX", "w400 h400", "Shell.Explorer").value
wb.navigate("file:///C:/")
main.show()
