Scripting or shortcut to network locations

Help & Support
1

Hi all,

Long time user of Dopus, and I love it :slight_smile:
I've recently started a new role on a support desk and am thinking that Dopus could be a really useful tool to help us. One of the most frequent operations we have here is browsing to a network machine, and always to \docs and settings. Now, my question is, and I am sure there is a way (I'm no scripter, so 'scuse my ignorance) to set up a toolbar button, and on launching this, prompt me for a network location, and subsequently a username prompt? These would be the only two variables in the network path/location that is needed, and entering these would then take me to said location...

Many thanks, Leo

Something like this:

Go "\\{dlgstring|Computer Name}\c$\documents and settings\{dlgstring|User Name}"

You can also make the prompts start with a default string that you can add to or type over, if that helps. e.g. If most of the machine names start with a common prefix you could add that in to the prompt so you don't have to type it, but still keep the ability to erase it when you need to connect to a machine that starts with something different.

Thanks, Leo - just what I was looking for :slight_smile:
