Hello!

I recently installed Windows 11.

I want to change the shortcut winKEY + E to another folder.

I used the below code and it worked on another laptop, but now I got the error from title.

Code: 
 REG FILE:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1}\Shell\opennewwindow\command]

"DelegateExecute"=""

@="wscript.exe \"C:\\Users\\flori\\Documents\\launch.vbs\""

// VBA FILE:

WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "C:\Users\flori\Downloads"

I am using Bitdefender with the attached settings.

What can I do?

Thank you!

4. You can also try...

Hello!

I attached the errors. The path is correct.

How can I fix this? I tried to add to except the launch.vbs, but it is useless.

Thanks.

//EDIT: I fixed. The path in launch.vbs file was not correct. Thank you all!
