I'm sorry, but I've searched as much as I could, and looked through the FAQ, but I can't find how to do this.

How do I open a folder?

I mean, say there's a folder on my desktop, and I want a single button to open it. Or perhaps open a folder inside. How do I do that?

One thing I tried was a test on my My Documents folder. I have a shortcut to it on my Quicklaunch bar, so I assigned the shortcut with a keystroke, like Ctrl+Alt+F8. I would have then used Girder to perform the keystroke, but the keystroke didn't even work when I used the keyboard. I tried about 10 different keystrokes, but none of them did a thing.

Besides, I don't really want to make a bunch of folder shortcuts to do this, I just want Girder to open a folder. How do I do that?

Simple:
Just use the O.S. Execute function and put the name of the directory in the file box instead. (eg. c:\my documents will open My Documents folder).
Hope this is helpful,

Thanks a lot! That works for me! :)

I think I've finally gotten my whole remote set up. Hooray for ATI and Girder!

Actually, I still have the mute problem, but I can live with having to press the button 3 times...
