IE favorites to a menu ok, but how to open the url

[mykael]

Hello,

Thanks to the forum, i have founded the command to have my IE favourites in a menu :

Go "/favorites\Volet des favoris" FOLDERCONTENT=hideext,dblclickmenu

It's perfect to me, but when i click on an URL in the menu, nothing happens.
When i double click on the same URL in the lister, Firefox opens the URL perfectly...

Any idea ?

Thank you

PS : i tried without the dblclickmenu but it didn't resolve my problem.

I think Alias "/Favorites" and symlink cause problem.
If you hover mouse over url link, you can read "c:\users\toto\favorites\volet des favoris\site.url".

Try the real link "C:\Users\toto\Favorites\Links\site.url"

Go "C:\Users\toto\Favorites\Links" FOLDERCONTENT=hideext,dblclickmenu

I think Alias "/Favorites" and symlink cause problem.

It's not a symlink, it's a junction. You can see more info about this here (in french).

So there is a problem between go command and junction.

At least on Windows 7, it is not a junction, it is a localized folder name:

Prefs / Folders / Folder Display:

Display localized folder names: Vista introduced the concept of localized folder names. In Windows XP, the C:\Program Files directory (for example) is physically renamed in other languages - e.g. on French systems the folder is C:\Programmes. In Vista and above, the folder is always called C:\Program Files, but its name is translated when it's displayed in the user interface. With this option on Opus will display the localized name for such folders instead of the real name in the filesystem.

(The Links folder name is localised to Favorites Bar in English, FWIW.)

Opus shouldn't mind either way, and doesn't on my Windows 7 machine. The button in the first post works okay for me without any modifications. (Oops, I had modified it to use "Links" of course; see below.)

Thank you very much Albator, it helped me a lot
This code works :

Go "/favorites\links" FOLDERCONTENT=hideext,dblclickmenu

@leo
With "Volet des favoris" instead of "links", .url files were well displayed in the menu, but couldn't be lauched.
With "links", it works perfectly...

Oh yeah, that makes sense to me now; you need to use the real folder name (not the fake localized name) when passing it as a path to commands.
