I'm not sure where I'm missing this, but on the third page of the tutorial there is a reference to:
1) opening documents,
2) changing file types displayed in the Open/Save dialog and
3) applying a file mask.
How do you do these things with AutoDialogs 2.3 Service Release 2?

Can you tell me, which tutorial do you mean?

Yes, right click on the AutoDialogs tray icon; click on tutorial; click on next twice. On the right hand side of that page, my questions have to do with the first, fourth and fifth paragraphs.
Thank you,
Randy

Sorry for not understanding this.
1. You will need to right-click the AutoDialogs icon in the tray and choose New. In the directory field please enter the full filename (with path) to the document you want to open frequently.
2. Do the same as in (1), but type the filetype extension with the *. before it. Examples:
*.doc
*.tmp
*.htm
etc.
3. This is the same as in (2).

This is exactly what I've done. It isn't working for me. I always get the error message "Folder path is invalid." So far, AutoDialogs is unregistered on my machine, but I would not think that would make a difference. Could there be something incorrect in my registry?

Can you post here what exactly you have typed in the Directory field of the New dialog? I would see what can be wrong and try to reproduce this.
Oleg.
Oleg.
Yes, as an example I have typed:
1. C:\Download\adsetup.exe (doesn't work)
2. C:\Download\*.exe (doesn't work)
3. C:\Download\ (works, of course. Really, the only true directory. It seems there should be an additional "mask" field where I would include "*.exe" for file type.)

I made the tests.
C:\Download\*.exe
It is working well. It goes to the C:\download directory and lists all EXE files.
The filename with the path doesn't work - Open/Save dialog doesn't understand this combination. But if you would create two entried in AutoDialogs:
c:\download\
adsetup.exe
Then using the sequentally would work.

Oleg,
I am happy for you that your "tests" worked so well, for you. They still do not work for me on 3 machines. Two are Windows XP machines, one is a Home version with SP2 and the other is a PRO version with SP2. My third machine is a Windows Vista Ultimate RC1, where the Open Files and File Masks do not work. I understand from what you are saying that since it works for you, it should work for me and we are done. I am disappointed that I can't get it to work for me, on three machines. The basic functionality is there, it is just these specific things that do not work for me.
If you have any other suggestions, I would be happy to try them.
Thank you,
Randy

I will make tests on several other computers here to find out if some configuration stops it from working. I willlet you know what I find.
Oleg.
Oleg.
My autodialogs is 2.6SR,it do'nt work file e.g.:
C:\Download\*.exe
and get"Error":"Folder path is invalid.".
C:\Download\*.exe
and get"Error":"Folder path is invalid.".
You should separate this to two different commands. One - to go to the folder, another to select *.exe files. You may assign hotkeys to make this switch faster.
