Program Launch information

Post by Saad »

I am adding a huge update to my 8bar skin, and one of the new features is Quicklaunch icons that actually work. Problem is that some of the programs for those quicklaunch icons, I don't have on my computer, so I have no idea what the launch location would be. For example, I have Firefox on my system, and I also have a Firefox Quicklaunch, and I know that Firefox's Launch command is "firefox.exe". The problem arrises with the other programs that I don't have. Since I know that most (if not all) of the programs, the rainmeter community uses, I would like to ask fellow rainmeter forumers to help me make my skin work correctly. All I need is the launch locations for the following software
•AIM
•Skype
•Windows Live Messenger (MSN)
•Yahoo Messenger (YIM)
•VLC
•Winamp
•Picasa
•Limewire
•GIMP
•Paint.NET
•Nero
•Tuneup Utilities
•Opera
•Safari
I urge you if you have the program installed on your computer (or you know damn well know the launcher) to help provide me with the launcher location that would launch the program successfully. To find out, you can right click the icon of the respective program and go to properties and then look under "Target" and look at the very end, where it says \******.exe and paste THAT very last part. Thank you very much :welcome:

How would that launch in rainmeter?
I mean how is it going to find the Disk? Since that is not their?
I mean I am saying lets say you put C:\\ but then a user has GIMP on their D drive. How would you substitute. Can you even do that yet?
