help with launching programs and websites

Post by casimo2 »

Hi Rainmeter forum
I have recently resat my pc, and now i can't seem to get some of my icons to launch anyting.
I use this skin https://stickdudeseven.deviantart.com/art/Cipher-388829905
and the file looks like this https://i.imgur.com/zD0OHTZ.png
I have tried adding the Execute! command and the LeftMouseUpAction.
I can not seem to get it to launch a website either by using thsi command: LeftMouseUpAction=["http://www.reddit.com"]
Hope you guys can help me, because im totally lost.

The code looks fine. Something probably didn't start up right.

Close Rainmeter (right-click notification icon and "Exit"). Then open Rainmeter and see if things work.

Try other skins to see if they work.
If they work, try downloading and installing that skin again (yeah, you'll have to add all your customizations back into it... :x ) .

Depending on what is loading when the PC boots up, sometimes Rainmeter can get "confused"... shouldn't happen too often, but a re-start usually will correct things.

Glad to hear it is working again for you! :welcome:
