Command line won't open x2 when folder groups are specified

Post by Slim »

I activate a cmd file with a vbs script that then runs a utility that positions x2 on the screen. I would also like to use that process to open x2 with certain folder groups. The original command is:

"C:\Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2_ult\xplorer2_64.exe" /M

The command I have tried for opening x2 with the desired folder groups is:

"C:\Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2_ult\xplorer2_64.exe" /F:0 /M /2 <200605_Tax_Top> <200605_Tax_Bottom>

When I run it, nothing happens. If I remove the folder groups from the command, x2 opens as it normally does. Would someone explain how to make this work?

are your folder groups called exactly <200605_Tax_Top> etc? The angle brackets are reserved DOS redirectors. So try enclosing each group name in quotes, e.g. "<200605_Tax_Top>"

Thanks, Nikos. I thought the names had to be enclosed in angle brackets in the command. Once I removed them, it worked.
