I'm not sure if this is the right site to be asking this. I have a program I made for Windows that essentially searches for and opens a folder via the file explorer. Right now, it's just a normal .exe that the user has pinned to their taskbar and will open a UI. I want to somehow program it so the user can install it and have it as a permanent widget on their taskbar, but I can't find any documentation or anything for adding anything to the taskbar. Is there any way to accomplish this or good resource I can study to figure this out?

I'm using google chrome with multiple email accounts and hence chrome users feature is so useful to me. It was easy for me to create shortcuts for every user in windows 10. But it seems difficult for me to open chrome in an account and then switching to the account which I want to use. It would be much helpful if the chrome users with their respective user pictures can be pinned in the dock. I'm using Pop OS 20.04 LTS. Are there any commands for enabling it? or any tricks?
First you need to navigate to chrome data directory, default is ${HOME}/.config/google-chrome. There you could find folders that stores different profiles, for instance Profile 1. Knowing directory names chrome can be executed with profile directory as follows:
google-chrome --profile-directory="Profile 1"
Do not use full path, give directory name only.
Knowing correct command create desired application launcher (I guess you can figure it out) and optionally put it to ${HOME}/.local/share/applications to access it from "start menu".
First you need to create a folder.desktop file in .local/share/applications.
There you can paste this code
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon[en_US]=google-chrome
Exec=google-chrome --profile-directory=PROFILE_NAME
Name[en_US]=Chrome-PROFILE_NAME
Name=Chrome-PROFILE_NAME
Icon=google-chrome
Replace PROFILE_NAME with your own profile name.
then right click the file and go to properties>permissions and allow execute file as program.
Now press windows button and search for your PROFILE_NAME.There you can see your profile name.Add that to your favorites and open that file.If chrome asks for setup your profile,set you profile for the first time and after that every time you click on that icon it will open your profile.
In this way you can create icons for multiple chrome profiles.
When browsing files within a zip archive in Windows 10, the right-click menu provides a very limited set of choices, and any attempt to open a file will always use the default application. Is it possible to change this?
Right click the file. Go to properties.
Click change button right in front of open with.
Choose an app you wish to open file with and click OK, Apply, OK.
Now you can open the file in app you just have chosen by double clicking it.
Sorry but if you want to change default app later, you'll have to follow same steps each time.
Really dumb question but it's annoying me because my VS2012 use to work like this:
When I run debug on the web application it used to open the current selected webform in the editor in the web browser.
Now the only way to change which one opens in the browser is that I must go to the webform I am busy on and click "Set As Start Page".
This makes it quite hard when I am working on multiple pages.
Please can someone tell me what setting I must change in VS to get it to work like it use to?
To change the startup options of a web application goto:
Project->Properties->Web-> Select Current Page.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to manage more than one website in Dreamweaver at the same time? As I understand it now, every time I need to get a page from a website, I have to change the current site by selecting another site in the Files dropdown... Is there a way to have something like "tabs" where you can instantly switch between different websites without having to click the Files drop-down, select the website, wait for FTP to connect, and then browse that website?
I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 and when I open multiple webpages, they are on tabs already. On the fist screen shot i provided, you can see that index.html and album.html are both opened. If you click on the restore button on the active window (icon encircled), it is manageable like the other image I attached.
I am using the WebBrowser control to browse local files and folders, but the control seems to be designed primarily to browse the Web (as its name implies).
I need to be able to do common tasks, like using the "Up one level" button, or put the control in "File Search" mode, get the active item, etc.
Is there a way to do these things using this control?
Is there a comprehensive documentation somewhere to explain local browsing using the WebBrowser?
Thanks all.
Here is a good intro that should help you get started on this. Most of the work with this dialog will be done by the browser, you need only to prompt it how to open the dialog.
I think you may be confusing the WebBrowser control with Windows Explorer.
If you want to browse around your local file system, then you need to add an Open File Dialog to the form containing the Web Browser control, then have a button of some kind open that dialog to locate the file to load into the WebBrowser control.
