> cmenu "Microsoft word document" not working

[victor50]

I copied this macro from this board and got it working with some trouble. Now cmenu "Microsoft word document" generates an error. Wonder if this has anything to do with "updating" Windows 11 from 23 to 24H2. When updating, I had to uninstall and reïnstall ExplorerPatcher to keep my Windows 10 taskbar working. It took them some time to circumvent the problems of the "update".

I updated xplorer2. Still reacts with "command is ineffable"

I take it that you are trying to create a new word document from EXPLORER > NEW submenu?
this works for me on windows 10
make sure that your active view doesn't have any items selected, otherwise you get the context menu for the selected item; you need the background menu

Code: Select all

getfocus # active folder pane
select 0 # unselect all
cmenu "word document"

Yes, I wanted to make a new Word document. As said, this worked on Windows 11 23H. I updated to Windows 24H2, and now it doesn't work. I changed the argument from "Microsoft word document" to "word document", but that doesn't make a difference. When creating it by hand, it still works, so I guess the problem is that "cmenu" is no longer recognized as a valid command.

did you follow the previous steps of the sample? CMENU on its own will error out
