Having trouble assigning programs to icons

Post by Moshtradamus »

In the below images you will see my desktop setup as of right now. All of them work according to their design, however, only the "Data" and "Audio" buttons do anything useful. The "Data" button opens my C:drive, so that is fine considering i use it all the time, however, my "Audio" button opens up Windows Media Player but I would like to change its execution path to Winamp since that is my main media player I use. Unfortunately I am having trouble finding some kind of code to edit the execution path so I would like to ask for help or tips if anyone has any. I've also included below the codes for each of the buttons. I would also like to link the buttons to open up other programs such as the following:

"The World" button - PSX2 Emulator

Code: Select all

The execute statements for the various function are to be found in this file:

@Include=#SKINSPATH#Altmit\settings.inc

So look in My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Altmit\ and find settings.inc. Edit it and change what is executed as you like.
