RecentX<\/a> automatically tracks files & folders opened using Windows Start Menu, Windows Explorer and most other programs. However, it is unable to track files opened using Total Commander<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Thanks to our customer @Lutz who directed us to an online forum post<\/a> that shows how to make Total Commander work with RecentX. In the past we already posted how to make RecentX work with Directory Open (Dopus)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically, you would need to set an AutoHotkey<\/a> script to run in Total Commander whenever a file\/folder is opened from it.<\/p>\n

RecentX monitors all items added to the Windows Recent Documents list. This is nothing but the “\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Recent” folder under AppData. If you open %appdata%\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Recent<\/strong> from Windows start menu, you will get to the exact folder.<\/p>\n

The following AutoHotkey script achieves this:<\/p>\n

Target = %1%
\nEnvGet, APPDATA, APPDATA
\nLinkFile := APPDATA . \"\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Recent\" . SubStr(Target, InStr(Target, \"\\\", 0, 0)) . \".lnk\"
\nFileCreateShortcut, %1%, %LinkFile%
\nRun, %1%<\/code><\/p>\n

To make any file type (e.g. “*.pdf”) that you want TC to create shortcuts for in the Windows ‘Recent’ folder run this script, use menu: “Files|Internal Associations” and add the file type. In the input box next to “Open”, put:<\/p>\n

\"[PathAndFullNameOfAHKScript]\" \"%1\"<\/code><\/p>\n
