Minimise explorer set to open root drive e:

[Gary]

Hi
Please help:

Here is my code:
Remark>Activity #1: Load Explorer
// Run program and wait for it to be active
Run Program>C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /e, /root, E:
//Minimise
WindowAction>2

Here is the error:
Specified window "2" Not present. Any subsequent key sends in script may cause exceptions. Abort/ignore.

I have tried instead of WindowAction>2, WindowAction>2,e:\ and WindowAction>2*
as that is the title of the window but I still get the error msg

Thanks/gary

Hi,

WindowAction expects two parameters - the second is the window title. you haven't provided it with the window title. Enter the window title of the window you want to action:

WindowAction>Action,Window_Title

Hi Support

Thanks for your reply

The last para of my post gave alternate window names I had used. If you start explorer with the command line I suggested you will see the window title is e:\ however minimise command does not work, at least for me

Your further advice would be appreciated

Warm regards/gary

Hi,

The problem is you are not waiting for the window to appear before attempting to minimise it. Clearly the minimise will fail because at the time it is run the window it is trying to minimise does not yet exist. You should use WaitWindowOpen.

Here's an example which opens Windows Explorer at the c: drive root and then minimises it:

Run>explorer c:\
WaitWindowOpen>c:*
WindowAction>2,c:*
