Tip: Simple fix to force-start Explorer.exe once game exits full-screen

[RightDeve]

NO, THAT WON'T DO IT, at least on my computer.
Believe me I tried that already. I said above it needs the current full path to explorer.exe
That vanilla code from CAMO is hard coded to C:Windows too.
Anyway, you might better send that rant directly to Microsoft instead of sending that to a mere poor mortal that is me (Linux fan? You from Finland right?)
Thank you.

I'll dig into it when I'll fire up W7 again. The point with %WINDIR% is that it should tell directly where the windows directory is. It might, however, be so that MS decided to treat it differently if some old batch scripts use the hardcoded locations and to replace it on the fly - they've been known to do stuff like that and never document it anywhere.

And I wouldn't call myself a Linux fan, more like "right tool for the right job." So I have a dual boot and also a VM for running WinSPMBT when I'm in Linux. Bad design is bad design regardless of who's the manufacturer of said piece of software.

This .cmd works for me... but is it possible that your game files are installed on another drive, like D: or E:?

Then that cd command never changes the default drive, it just changes the drive C: current directory. In any case, I wonder why %WINDIR% won't do it for you...

What happens if you try the following:

taskkill.exe /f /im explorer.exe
start/w winSPMBT.exe
%SystemDrive%
start %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
