Hi I made a simple menu item that should open My received folder or any folder. I couldn't find a way.. So I did this

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(folder,Location, OriginWnd)
{   
var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
               Shell.Exec("C:\Application.exe");
               return"";
               
   
   
}

I made a VB applicaion to open the folder ... is there an easier way to do it without using shell? when I try a normal link like Shell.Exec("C:\Myrecieved\");
it dosnt open it. Please let me know if theres an easier way to this thanks!

try "explorer [pathname]"

Well, the ShellExecute function should do the trick

JScript code:

---

Interop.Call("shell32", "ShellExecuteW", null, "open", "C:\\Myrecieved", null, null, 1 /*SW_SHOWNORMAL*/);

---

Also, notice that "\" is an escape character in JScript so you need to use double backslash "\\" instead

Instead of hardcoding the path to the folder get it from the registry. Take a look at CookieRevised's reply to Where is Recieved Files Folder stored in the registry?
