Please can you be more specific? Which button? Which control panel? Supply a creenshot if possible.
Thank you.

I think salaman meant the Open Control Panel button available on the Top Toolbar.

LoL, I've never used that button. And if I remeber right, I've never used any of the buttons. I am a all keyboard user.

To the problem, I believe that there must be some error within the CLASS registry.

Jan, can you specify which keys to check? (no spare time here... I have to party )

We are calling SHGetSpecialFolderLocation with CSIDL_CONTROLS parameter to get the location, then ShellExecuteEx to open it with Windows Explorer.

What about other commands from Commands > Open Folder?

Only Fonts seem to work. I use the manager with Administrator privileges, while working under regular user. That's why I need "Open control panel" and "Recycle bin" buttons.

Cannot confirm - all Toolbar buttons opening system folders & locations work as designed, including Desktop, Documents, Network and Control Panel .

I am running Salamander 2.54 on Windows 7 32bit with Admin priviledges.

Works for me on Win7x64 (UAC on). Could you try it on another system?

I use the manager with Administrator privileges, while working under regular user.

And you do that how? Logged in as a regular (Limited is it) user. Then using runas to run Salamander?
C:> RUNAS /USER:Administrator salamand.exe


While running as a Limited user, if you open an elevated (Admin level) command prompt, & type in CONTROL, does that open Control Panel?
C:> CONTROL


Might it be a "limited" "Admin" account having restrictions set (even though it is "Admin") from opening Control Panel?


Your bug report was caused by an actual exception & not simply you issuing a Break?

LanmanRedirector have any bearing?

The last one doesn't work... Seems that the problem has nothing to do with Salamander, according to what was posted here.

Can someone please point me at the real problem?

OFFTOP is there an option to save shortcuts to directories ? sort of bookmarks?

[SelfMan]

A better way to fix such problem is to do a repair reinstall of windows. It takes less time than chasing ghosts.

If you don't mind a tiny bit of programming, Autohotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) can do this, and many other tasks as well.

An extra shortcut to the desktop, only active when Salamander is running in the foreground, and activated by Shift+t, looks like this:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_class SalamanderMainWindowVer25
+t::
send +{F7}
sendinput %A_Desktop% {enter}
return

this shortcut will open the desired path inside the Salamander ?

Yes, it is specifically limited to work only when Salamander is running and has the focus.

Did I misunderstand, and you wanted certain folders opened outside of Salamander?

That can be done as well, with the Windows Explorer, or in other programs of your choice.

BTW, depending on what you are looking for, maybe this ready-to-use AHK application is all you need:

http://foldermenu.sourceforge.net/

Folder Menu is a folder switching tool.
You can quickly jump to your favorite folders in explorer, open/save dialog or command prompt...and more.
You can also launch your favorite folders, files or urls.

No, you got everything right - i was asking about solution for Salamander which allows to make multiple shortcuts Thank you.
I actually was hoping that there's another, more native way of creating shortcuts, but still, as you said - i don't mind to write a little of code.
