I want to have multiple options to open browser window under 1 item in start menu. I have set up the following: (URL shortened for space reasons, none of the links work here)

2 is printer info
/https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/---
/4. is Cust Folder
/https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/---
/6.. is Apparel Costing
/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1---
/8. is Apparel Quote
/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/---

The above works, giving me 8 lines, each line numbered from which I can choose. I want to do away with the explanation line and do something like this.

:Printer Info:/https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/---

This did not work, however. Anyone have a suggestion of how I can accomplish this?

Use description separator - "::"

Printer Info:: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/---
/Cust folder:: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/---

Thanks for the info. This is what happened.

I put this in.:

2 is printer info
/Printer info:: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fold ... e2qRcKzTTW
/4. is Cust Folder
/Cust Folder:: /https://drive.google.

This is what shows when it opens:
1. 2 is printer info
2. Printer info
3. 4 is Cust Folder
4 Cust Folder

The link is gone, clicking on the two lines with the URL does nothing.
I must be doing something incorrectly.

If you want to open the links, you need to change the type to Run or Open.

It is set to open, but that is not the problem.
As you can see, using the :: it no longer shows any thing past that, and there is no url to open.

I don't know what the first and the third lines are for but this works perfectly for me:
Type: Open

Code: Select all

2 is printer info
/FastKeys:: https://fastkeysautomation.com
/4. is Cust Folder
/Google:: https://google.com
/https://fastkeysautomation.com
And of course, the text past :: is omitted.

Here is how it looks, I copied yours exactly.

Close but not exact, the bottom one does not show text.

On mine I have this loaded in:
2 is printer info
/Printer info:: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fold ... e2qRcKzTTW
/4. is Cust Folder
/Cust Folder:: /https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fold ... pVvvu8B1qY
/6.. is Apparel Costing
/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0
/8. is Apparel Quote
/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0

This is how it looks: Printers info is the only one that works.

Thanks much for the help.
I must have had some incorrect stuff in the code.
I put it in line by line testing each one, and it is working perfectly!
Thanks again for the help.
How do I mark this as solved, and provide thanks to you?
