Help with using Launcher to open websites

Post by SeanLogue »

Hey everyone,

I've been browsing the forums for a little while now, and I am still struggling with this problem.
I'm trying to use my current Mass Effect 2 skin's launcher to open websites and whatnot.
http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/85885
That's the skin I'm using by the way.

I'm completely new to Rainmeter, as in I installed it today and have that skin I linked to set up, including the weather. I know very little about the programming aspect of things, and I would appreciate any and all help you guys could give.

Just as an example, opening Google, my Youtube channel, or a certain folder from the launcher.
Not sure if there's any information I need to give so that I can get help with this, but just let me know if there is.

Thank you.
I had looked at that file previously and the issue is that I don't really know what to put there if I wanted to (for example) put Google as one of the links. To be honest, I'm not even sure if that's possible (I'm just hoping) :)

Things I want to do:

Ex1)
To use one of the launcher's buttons to open up "http://www.youtube.com/user/sk4428"

Ex2)
To open up the Documents folder

ButtonLeft2="Documents"
ButtonLeft2Path=C:\Users\Sean\Documents


I doubt these are correct, but I'm not really sure what to actually put there.
By the way, thank you for your help.

EDIT: Got Task manager to open through use of one of the launch buttons, and found how to do Major folders such as documents and recycle bin

You had it right the first time. :) For the YouTube link (your remaining problem?) you would just use, for example:

Code: Select all

ButtonLeft1Path=http://www.youtube.com/user/sk4428
