Clickable links for Windows Special Folders, My Computer, Recycle Bin etc...

[uziq]

To use these in your config, just add a new meter, go to the Input tab, check "Allow Input Controls," add an input that uses Meter Linkage, and put one of the following commands for "Link Meter To:"

My Computer:
explorer.exe /root,,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
My Computer with C drive selected:
explorer.exe /select,c:
My Network Places:
explorer.exe /root,,::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}
Start a Network Connection: (replace ConnectionName with the name of the connection)
rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,rnadial ConnectionName
Recycle Bin:
explorer.exe /root,,::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Empty Recycle Bin: (may not work correctly)
cmd.exe /C del /F /Q C:\RECYCLER\*.*
or, you can put this program in your Samurize folder and use erb /hide for the meter link.
Another option is to use the RecycleBin plugin, which lets you empty the trash from a popup menu.
Task Manager:
taskmgr.exe
Computer Management:
compmgmt.msc
Shared Folders:
fsmgmt.msc
System Properties:
control.exe sysdm.cpl
Volume Control:
sndvol32.exe
Volume Slider:
sndvol32.exe /t
Date and Time Properties:
control.exe timedate.cpl

Map Network Drive:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL Connect
Disconnect Network Drive:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL Disconnect

Logoff:
shutdown.exe -l
Switch User / Lock Computer:
rundll32.exe user32.dll LockWorkStation
Hibernate:
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Restart:
shutdown.exe -r
Shutdown:
shutdown.exe -s
Shutdown (abort):
shutdown.exe -a

Start Screensaver:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLL C:\Windows\system32\ssstars.scr

other Control Panel links

More rundll32.exe links

If you have trouble getting a link to work, then try putting the Windows System path in front of it, such as: C:\WINDOWS\System32\


Thanks to everyone who (unknowingly) added things to the list! Feel free to post any other useful commands.

Here's a config with all the links. Some of the meter links are disabled so you won't accidentally shutdown your computer or put it into hibernate.

I'm totally sorry, I most be completely blind, but I just can't find "Allow meter linkage"... :-(

[Spewed]

From the Input tab->Check Allow Input Controls->Check the option you want for example Left Mouse Click->Select Action Type: Meter Linkage

Edit: Oh, uziq edited his original post to more specific too.

[uziq]

Hi,
thanks for this great thread, it's very usefull.

but....


anyone knows how to show the standard win shutdown dialog?
imho shutdown -s it's too violent...
and the shutdown -i is quite boring... it needs to write a pc name, a comment...

regards

[Spewed]

Look few threads down on this forum.

Here.

[KMDonlon]

Do a search for Shutdown in the dowloads section, I uploaded a couple of different options there too

[GZT]

I never read the first post -- you've shown me another way to get things done in AeroShell.

Thanks Uziq.

I didn't find these folder links anywhere else, so I'll add them to this thread. I don't remember where I got the list from, but it's been a big help.
