Re: Make a shortcut on the desktop open/run a skin.ini
You can place a .cmd file on the desktop and put the following command in there:
The first part ist the path to the Rainmeter executable, the second is the config (Ikarus1969\Date&Time\Clocks\Clock) and the third part is the ini-file (Clock.ini).
You can use any bang.

"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" [!ActivateConfig "Ikarus1969\Date&Time\Clocks\Clock" "Clock.ini"]

Re: Make a shortcut on the desktop open/run a skin.ini
it worked perfectly, and one more thing, would it be possible to run it but without showing the cmd in the window? I run it and the cmd opens minimizedikarus1969 wrote: ↑October 22nd, 2022, 12:57 pm You can place a .cmd file on the desktop and put the following command in there:

Re: Make a shortcut on the desktop open/run a skin.ini
I googled a little bit and found that if you adapt the line in the cmd a little bit, there's no minimized cmd anymore:
start /min cmd /c is new at the beginning of the line.
Code: Select all
start /min cmd /c "C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" [!ActivateConfig "Ikarus1969\Date&Time\Clocks\Clock" "Clock.ini"]

Save your command line to a Bat file.
Convert the Bat file to Exe with the application in the link Bat to Exe Converter
Here is the part you need to pay attention to in the screenshot.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
I don't know where i going from here, but i promise it won't be boring...

In response to ikarus1969, I tried it but it continued to open cmd at its normal size.
But now when I tested what tass_co suggested it worked perfectly
