Shortcuts to Folders?

Post by Nugget »

Does anyone know of any skin where I can make a shortcut or icon direct to a folder itself? Thanks.

I assume you are ok with creating a skin?

Just save that code in My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\FolderTest\FolderTest.ini
Save the image in the same location.

Start RainBrowser

Click on "Refresh All" on the bottom right
Click on "Browse" at the top
Find that new skin
Load it
