#13 Windows key sticks after locking computer.

Garry — Mon, 13 May 2013 22:46:02 -0000

This started happening often with modifier keys in AutoHotkey scripts a while ago.

If you have the source code you can fix it yourself. You need to get Autohotkey to wait for the key to be released. E.g.

KeyWait, LWin

Windows key sticks after locking computer.

There is a bit of a problem with the "Windows + " hotkey solution. When I press "Windows + L" to lock my computer, Folder Menu now sees the "Windows" key as being stuck down. When I unlock my computer, any future presses to "W" and such open the associated Folder Menu options, until I press the "Windows" key again. That toggle puts Folder Menu back into its normal state.
This is particularly a problem because I often come back to my computer, forgetting to press the Windows key once to correct Folder Menu, and start typing in a document or email. This causes the Folder Menu menus to start popping up, messing up my typing/document.

Conflicting "Skip options window" and "Add new item at top"

metatech — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:01:53 -0000

The 2 options "Skip options window" and "Add new item at top" are conflicting.
When adding a new favourite, it is added at the end instead of at the beginning.

Selecting "*.lnk" should not open new window

metatech — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 08:58:19 -0000

When selecting a Windows shortcut ("lnk" extension) from the Folder Menu, a new Windows Explorer window is opened, instead of changing to the selected directory within the existing File Open/Save dialog.
The behaviour is the same whether the option "Use target of ".lnk" file" is enabled or not.
When selecting a normal directory (not a shortcut to it), it works fine.

Windows cannot find folder **\\* Duplicated slash

Windows cannot find folder ****\\*** Duplicated slash
System: Win7 Folder menu 3.1.2.2

It occurs when right clicking on C:\ to browse inside drive then selecting any subfolders.
(Same works if browsing started from a folder instead of a root drive)

Thanks

COM Error msxml6.dll & Line 2581 Variable must be of Type Ob

COM Error msxml6.dll & Line 2581 Variable must be of Type Object
Occurs on Windows 7

Just for future users that would perhaps look on this forum on possible causes of this problem.

For me it was due to program not runned as admin. (Needed to right click on folder menu exe, compatibility and check run as admin checkbox)

Thanks

Bug - Autodesk Maya 2011

Kieran OSullivan — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 05:45:19 -0000

Folder Menu does not appear to work with the new File Open window in Autodesk Maya 2011.
Previous versions of Maya work perfectly. 2011 uses a new UI, possibly using QT for the interface.

The "System recent" menu takes forever (or at least 10 seconds) until it opens
