Solved Action after opening a folder

[SirDarknight]

Is it possible that when I'll open a folder a program or file will open automatically??

Example : I open Program Files and Windows Media Player starts automatically!

Could you be more precise what programs you are opening and what method you use?

 

[SirDarknight]

Well, I've already given an example. I haven't got any medthod that's why I'm asking if there's any

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Did you run the sfc and chkdsk yet? or any of the security sweeps?

Post #1 Sorry but I don't understand this.

What program or programs are you trying to open?

I think he wants a certain program/s to open when he opens a certain folder/s, not that that's his problem.

Could be, but why? I just use the shortcut or quick launch. We need some response from the OP to clarify I think.

Yes Gary I wished those scans had been done first thing if only to rule out any nasties

I think the OP wants to open a specific application to open automatically whenever he opens a specific folder, sort of like Autoplay for folders.

I guess the example rephrased would be,
If I open Program Files folder, I want Media Player to start automatically. How do I do it ?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Hmm Gladson if the OP would answer we might get to the bottom of what is trying to be done.

I personally cannot see what is wrong with clicking on Start > All programs and picking the one you want or just have it on the taskbar or the Desktop it isn't rocket science.

As gladson1976 said, maybe u got me and him, so now the question is : is it possible?

Sure - that is possible... but you might have to change some settings to make it reliable.

I'm going to assume that you are "opening" Program Files using Windows (file) Explorer. Can you live with the Windows Classic theme? Because in that theme, you can set Windows (file) Explorer to display the full path to the folder that was opened. In this case, C:\Program Files

If you use a tool like AutoIt, you can have a script that just waits around until it "sees" a window with that title. Once such a window appears, the script can launch Windows Media Player.Let me know if you want know more.

Edit: I might be able to make it work with other themes - I just use Classic for its speed.

(You might want to watch the video in the full screen mode and at 720p resolution.)

Thanks a lot to everyone and specially to UsernameIssues. Now I know what's the difference between a normal programmer like me and a pro programmer. I know Autoit,C#,Java but I still didn't find out how to do that.So thanks again to everyone.

Your are too kind. A professional programmer would laugh at my code. I am but a hobbyist with no formal training. But I've seen enough professional coding to know what I typically leave out - namely, error checking and error handling.

The code for that post was just to show proof of concept. I would probably use it just as you see it with only a few small additions. But if I were to write it for others to use, I would need some error checking and error handling. As written, it can just hang in an infinite loop. I would know how/when to kill the script if it hung. Others should not have to do that.

Infinite loops are a usually bad thing when they have no error checking/handling - and the code above has two such loops. That said, if you keep the Opt line of code that enables AutoIt's tray icon mouse-over tool-tip debugging, then you will know when/where the script failed/hung and you can take action as needed/desired.
