Starter Menu

[flizebogen]

I wanted to extend the starter menu but i receive an error message on starting the app.

Command: %windir%\system32\mmc.exe
Parameter: %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

Above is the Output of the Command. Bug or user mistake?

As the new betas support icons in menu entries is it planned to extend this for starter entries?

What happens, when you execute the command
%windir%\system32\mmc.exe %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc
from the Run (Win-R ) dialog?

[flizebogen]

From the Commandline or the run dialog everything works as expected. It just opens the computermanagenent console

This is what you need:

Command: %windir%\system32\mmc.exe %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

(no parameter)

Then it works.

Yeah, the problem is, that the parameter contains a %w, that is the placeholder in TC for the working directory.

[flizebogen]

This doesn't woks for me. But if it did was is the field parameter for?

It doesn't matter where to put the parameter. It seems TC doesn't expand the second variable

It works here:
%windir%\system32\mmc.exe %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

Strange i have similar issues using the variable %Systemroot%.

Is there any way to use a system variable. I want to prevent the use of a fixed path.

was is the field parameter for?

It is great for using placeholders that correspond to the selected files in both panels, see the help.

Normally i used the parameter field for the parameter but the result from your picture is identically

[CoolWater]

If you put this in the parameter field, it also works (here):
%%windir%%\system32\compmgmt.msc

%%windir%%\system32\compmgmt.msc

Yes this works for me.
