    How is called Run dialog or source file of shortcut?
    « on: November 11, 2018, 04:45:49 AM »
    Hi!

    I want to call Run dialog by myself and all what I can find is only shortcut.
    When I try to open file location, it displays Windows folder.

    So, Q is:
    How is Run dialog called?
    Or source file of shortcut and how to use?
    I want to call it by command line.

    Thank you all for help.

    explorer.exe Shell:::{2559a1f3-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}

    c:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,#61 (Does not show "Type the name of a program...")

    64 bit Windows:

    %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,#61

      This is a command to open a "Windows Special Folder". There are lots of them.

      Run dialog is explorer.exe Shell:::{2559a1f3-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}

      You can use them by explorer.exe Shell: and then the Special Folder CLSID which starts ::{ and ends }

      Big list here https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/launching-windows-special-folders/

      A couple of examples I chose at random from that list:

      Taskbar Properties
      explorer.exe shell:::{0DF44EAA-FF21-4412-828E-260A8728E7F1}

      Search Everywhere (modern, same as magnifying glass)
      explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f8-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
