I need a .bat script

[Link9rly]

 I need .bat script help. I want to make a folder opening bat. for example, you click on it and it opens the folder I told it to. I want to do this since I have custom shortcuts on my keyboard. I want it to open a game folder. C:\Users\Censored\Desktop\Games . Anyone?  :help:

Name the use directory and I will make you one

explorer "%folder name%"

quote signs required if the path contains spaces.


So if your keyboard opens applications, just bind explorer "C:\Users\Censored\Desktop\Games" to it.

Got it Thanks Grze

open notepad

Explorer C:\Users\Censored\Desktop\Games

save as name.bat

[9r2e5i3k]

open notepad

Explorer C:\Users\Censored\Desktop\Games

save as name.bat

Well, to be honest a .bat file is not really needed if it's meant to contain one command line.

true true..

You've already got the answer, but this is something advanced from that, which I'm just throwing out there.

I made a batch file which I put on my RocketDock, that basicly opens folders or files that I want given what I type at the start, which I found very useful and really efficient.



@echo off
title Quick Panel
:start
set /p jumpselection=^>
if %jumpselection%==??? (
   explorer.exe C:\Users\Kitsune\Downloads\???
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==??? (
   explorer.exe C:\Users\Kitsune\Downloads\???
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==music (
   explorer.exe C:\Users\Kitsune\Music
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==dls (
   explorer.exe C:\Users\Kitsune\Downloads
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==msn (
   explorer.exe C:\Users\Kitsune\Documents\My Received Files
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==edit (
   notepad.exe C:\Users\Kitsune\Documents\Task Bar Icons\quick.bat
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==exit (
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==icons (
   C:\Program Files\RocketDock\Icons
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==pics (
   explorer.exe C:\Users\Kitsune\Pictures
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==messenger (
   cd C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\
   msnmsgr.exe
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==system32 (
   explorer.exe C:\Windows\System32
   exit
)
if %jumpselection%==themes (
   explorer.exe C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
   exit
)
echo Invalid command.
goto start

I added a command edit, which makes it really simply to add or remove options. Just type the command, edit the code, save, then run Quick Panel again.

EDIT: Anyone know a more efficient way to do this? I'm not sure how to use case statements in batch (or other similar statements for that matter).

So if you double click that batch file, you can open any folder by typing it in..?
Not completely sure of what it does. Explain it to me?

Yes, by making a program C/C++.

I might just try to make one like that, even though I'm on a break from school  :roll:

[rJCaiG]

Can you run C/C++ scripts from desktop?

That means compiling. Though it wouldn't take up much space  :razz:

Well obviously, I was refering to a batch method. :P
