I am writing a personal application using AutoHotkey to speed up common tasks. One thing I do often is change my desktop background to solid white (for screenshots I post on Super User, as you may have noticed). My current approach is the following:
- Run
control
- Press Alt+D
- Enter
path
Where path
is something like:
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Desktop Background
This is not a bad solution, but I'm curious to know if it's possible to bypass 'typing' in a path and go directly to any specific section.
