htm=c:\icons\library.dll(11)![]() | ||
| Alternatively, if you put txt.ico (for example) in Calmira's folder, then this is equivalent to the above setting. | ||
| ServiceApplication=c:\netscape\netscape | This is the location of your internet browser of choice, without ".exe" at the end. This will try to use DDE. If this does not work then you can add the .exe and parameters, and it will open by normal methods; in this case use %url% to insert the URL. |
| URLPrefixes=http:// ftp:// gopher:// news: file: mailto: | If one of these prefixes (which are separated by spaces) is at the start of the line in the Run dialogue then the line will be considered a URL and passed to the above browser. You may want to add "www". |
| Address Bar=Shift+Ctrl+O | Keyboard shortcuts must have two or more out of Shift, Ctrl, and Alt, and a key name. The bit before the = is the caption. This will be searched for, first in Calmira's windows' captions (eg. My Computer, any open icon window, Start (the caption of the Start button)), then in desktop shortcuts' captions, then in the Start Menu. If it is not found but it is a path then that folder will be opened. |

| Numberpad | *, / | Num Lock, NumPad -, NumPad +, NumPad "." |
| I don't expect to find values for Win9x keys Win, Menu, Wake, Sleep, Power. | ||
| This function uses Delphi's TextToShortcut function. I have checked the source and there are some shortcuts that should work but don't - I've tested all of the ones I've listed. | ||
| If you enter two shortcuts to the same caption then only the first is kept - the rest are discarded. | ||
| 0..2=2*1 | This section controls what shape to use for icon windows based on the number of items to be shown. Format: min..max=x*y where min..max is the range of the number of icons to use for this window size, x is the number of columns of icons to use, and y is the number of rows. Folders with more than the highest number (30 in this, the default case) use the layout for the highest number. |

You should edit shortcuts from their Properties dialogue.
These are history lists and should be left alone. You can clear then from SP/G.| CD=F: | You can specify environment variables for use within Calmira, but not Dos boxes, perhaps for things that change, so one change will correct all references.In this example, you could set a shortcut's location to %CD%\filename.exe and if your CD letter changes, you can change this setting and the shortcut would work. |
| c:\windows=Microsoft Windows | If you don't want to use descriptions as captions then you can use this. Calmira's Help file says it's not a good idea to have a lot of them as it slows Calmira down. |
