You didn't try any of the posted scripts, did you? Seriously, just think about it and try it, both of Hacker's suggestions work in both directions. It doesn't matter if you replace C to TEMP to D and D to C or if you start with D to TEMP to C and C to D. In the end, C and D are exchanged - every time the script runs! I made the same mistake in thinking that it would require double the amount of code, but it really doesn't.

All you need is a reliable kind of trigger to launch it; because as I said, the exchange is done every time the script runs. Unfortunately I haven't got a working solution for that.

Hmmmm, OK. I agree.
We call it WindowsCommander because it commands Windows, not "Total".
even though it'd be cool to command a 7 trillion dollar oil company

brian,

Nope.
If I boot BACK into Win10, it won't work.
Nope.
I'm curious as to why you would ignore that?
I am not. :D

^ What Dalai says. Why don't you simply try the code? ;)

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

brian,
Yeah well, it would make me feel even better if you simply tried the code I provided before you claimed it does not work, but I guess that would make me feel too good. Oh well.
