A new environment variable %$DOWNLOADS% or %$MYDOWNLOADS%

Post by *Jivan_Mukta »

For a better extended menu and portablility of TC it will be useful to define such a variable, which takes its valua from windows registry like
%$DESKTOP% or %$APPDATA%

In the present moment I use my own command in *.ini

[em_currentuser_Downloads]
cmd=cd %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
menu=Current user downloads


which is not an universal solution because:

1/ "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads" is the default valua in the new MS Windows,
but in Windows XP the default folder is set to "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Downloads"
2/ Anyone could set ist own value for this frequently used personal folder.

(I don't have how about all this variables under Linux Wine.)

"Downloads" could also be added as a command in the droped menus Alt+F1/F2.

Thank you for attention!
Best wishes!
