Open a folder using a keyboard-key

[FVG]

Hello,
I'm using a Logitech K330 with programmable keys.
I want to assign one of the keys to open a specific folder on the left site of my running TC11.
I have tried this command:
"C:\program files\Wincmd\totalcmd64.exe" "/L=E:\Box Sync\HelpDesk\Documentenwijzer\"
but that starts a new session of TC instead of opening the folder in my running session.
Is it possible to become this and how?

/O
Have you checked the help about command line parameters?

@ white
Sorry forgot to type it in my above post
The correct one is: "C:\program files\Wincmd\totalcmd64.exe" /O=0 "/L=E:\Box Sync\HelpDesk\Documentenwijzer\"
But the result was still a new window.

Just /O will do, not /O=0

edit: typo and see " remark below

Don't put the " before /L but put it after the = - as here:

"C:\program files\Wincmd\totalcmd64.exe" /O /L="E:\Box Sync\HelpDesk\Documentenwijzer\"

Do you want to do this when the TC window is active or not?

Just /0 will do, not /0=0

No. /O or /O0, but not /0.
/O0 logically works faster, as it doesn't require additional checks.

TEST1
The command: "C:\program files\Wincmd\totalcmd64.exe" /O /L="E:\Box Sync\HelpDesk\Documentenwijzer\"
Result: a new TC window is opened with the correct folder on the left site

TEST2
The command: "C:\program files\Wincmd\totalcmd64.exe" /O0 /L="E:\Box Sync\HelpDesk\Documentenwijzer\"
Result: on the active TC window but without a folder-change on the left site

What I want is the folder indicated with the L-parameter on the left site of the current active TC window

Did you test without the trailing backslash?

The command: "C:\program files\Wincmd\totalcmd64.exe" /O /L="E:\Box Sync\HelpDesk\Documentenwijzer\"

The already running TC window is running as administrator?

If that's the case, why don't you want to use the TC interface to bind hotkeys?
In this case, you won't have the problems described with the difference in launch permissions.
And best of all, you'll be able to use faster tools without having to create a temporary TC process:

1. cm_FocusLeft,cm_Wait 40,cd "C:\path to\"
2. TCFS2.exe /ef "tcd(`C:\path to`) tcm(4001)"
3. TCMC.exe CD "C:\path to" "" CM4001

The already running TC window is running as administrator?

That's the most likely reason.

It you are running TC as Administrator, you also have to open with yor left folder choice as administrator. If you use a button in TC, then put an asterisk (*) in front of the command,ifI you open via a link on the desktop,then configure the link to start as Administrator.
