AutoHotkey: Refresh the treeinfo.wc of certain drives

You got some real huge disks and want to refresh the treeinfo.wc overnight, thus you need a program you can put into the scheduler.

This script uses the code for the cm_gotodriveX command to switch to all drives you want to refresh the treeinfo.wc. So you may add some drives or alter the driveletters. The 2063 code means 'open Drive c:\', 2064 means 'open drive d:\' and so on. In my example the trees of drives c:\ d:\ e:\ and i:\ are refreshed.

;start Totalcmd.exe
run "Your\Path\to\\totalcmd.exe" 

;wait until TC-window has opened

Save this script with extension *.ahk (e.g. refresh.ahk), install Autohotkey and call the script with Windows scheduler.

You may remove all lines beginning with a ";", because these are only comments to understand what the script does.
