Thanks, Tony was right about the .lnk to get exe to run. Because I want local programs to run on different computers ( maybe different paths) anf some of the short cuts have spaces which are hard to parse, My trick was to take the startup shortcuts (or make my own) and move them to D:/Jump which exists on all my windows computer at least - and I can change the names so that no spaces are in the shortcuts - and all works great - so now my opening tiddler has my most frequent used web links, local programs and local folders / files - nice and clean and my fast way to get / do anything (these would be live links in my tiddler:
TOP web: gmail || drive || fb || gnews || mail || keep local run: DesktopSearch || Photoshop || Word || AnyDesk local go: D-top|| D-deepdream || E-drive where I got the local run by this code: local run: [[DesktopSearch|file://D:\jump\CopernicDesktopSearch.lnk]] || [[Photoshop|file://D:\jump\Photoshop.lnk]] || [[Word|file://D:\jump\Word.lnk]] || [[AnyDesk|file://D:\jump\AnyDesk.lnk]] all works well and can be modified based on my usual / needs. thanks On Saturday, June 1, 2019 at 2:56:55 PM UTC-7, steved wrote: > > First - I was an early Tiddler guy from way back, have journeyed elsewhere > (evernote, my own tools, ...) but now after a decade or more happy to see > the community alive and well and found TW5 and started using it 2 days ago. > - have been impressed with so much the same but so much is better.
