how do I make a launcher for Microsoft To Do

[noushsuon]

Hello, I am new to rainmeter but I have had no trouble coding app launches except I can never get it to work with To Do.

I have attached an image of the app shortcut properties. Ordinarily, I would have writen "location\Microsoft To Do.exe" but it doesn't seem to have a file location?? and it won't work using the shortcuts I have made by dragging the app from the start menu. I also tried copying that string in the target box but that didn't work either.

I'm sure this is a very stupid question but I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

I attempted to add this function for a game I have.
It still will not open with the icon.
How can I get the Icon to execute the game?
This is the location of the games .exe file as I've entered it into the .ini file.... LeftMouseUpAction=["E:\Games\World_of_Tanks_NA\wgc_api.exe --open"]
TIA,
KJ

There is a small difference between opening a (let's say) classic program (like Notepad or probably your game as well) and Windows 10 Modern App.
For your game try to remove the --open parameter, so try simply LeftMouseUpAction=["E:\Games\World_of_Tanks_NA\wgc_api.exe"].
Or, as jsmorley described, try to run the commands posted by him here (simply open a PowerShell window, by enetering PowerShell in the Start menu search box and choose probably the first match, then paste the code posted by jsmorely into the PowerShell window). You'll get a list of installed apps. Is the game there? If it is, copy its identification (something like Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App - this is just an example, it's not what you need). Paste the copied identificator into the following option, replacing the PASTE-IDENTIFICATOR-HERE: LeftMouseUpAction=[shell:Appsfolder\PASTE-IDENTIFICATOR-HERE].
For the original question, you probably should use something like this: LeftMouseUpAction=[shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.Todos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App].

Thanks for your time in posting this information.
Sad to say that none of these has worked.
I'm still searching the forums for answers.
Thanks again.

Try this snippet: LeftMouseUpAction=[explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.ToDos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App]
By having Explorer.exe execute the shell, this opens my Win10 ToDo app.

Try this snippet: LeftMouseUpAction=[explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.ToDos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App]
By having Explorer.exe execute the shell, this opens my Win10 ToDo app.

For me, that snippet opened my Documents folder.

Just thought I'd chime in.

EDIT: I just checked - I dont have that app installed, so another

If the app is not installed, this explain why the Documents opens. However would be fine if noushsuon come back, to say what and how is going on for him.

I'm afraid this does not work either.
Thanks for trying.
