I want to reprogram the "My Documents" key on my keyboard to use DOpus (instead of Explorer). Which executable should I use - dopus.exe or dopusrt.exe?
You could use either of them but dopusrt.exe is best as there's a bit less overhead then. Here's the command-line:
(FWIW, if you have Explorer Replacement turned on then you wouldn't normally need that unless the keyboard was currently configured to explicitly run Explorer.exe)
Thanks. I tried out your direct reply too literally at first and it did not work. Once I replaced [quote]"/mydocuments" [/quote]with the full address of the folder (with backslashes), it went fine.
But then I turned on Explorer Replacement as you suggested. It was much better and I did not have to reprogram other keys in a similar fashion.
It raises another little question: how do I control whether a key replaces the latest lister or opens a new one?
Strange, using the /mydocuments alias worked here. Using the full path is fine as well, though (just might need updating if you move to another OS one day).
Using Explorer Replacement, it should always either open a new window or open a new tab in an existing window (depending on how Opus is configured under Prefs / Launching Opus / Explorer Replacement).
When using dopusrt.exe, add the NEW argument if you want it to open a new window, e.g.
"C:\program files\gpsoftware\directory opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go NEW "C:\Program Files"Thanks for all your help.
