Just about done!

Most things are reinstated. A few issues with my Fanart, but I think that may be waiting for the scraper in FanartHandler to pick them up again from the old thumbs. Time will tell.

I have moved all of my files on to a larger HDD and reduced the number that I had from two to one, so if it was a power supply issue, then that should help. The only issue with that is the filepaths. I will get on to that question in a minute.

In the meantime, I have decided that it would be the right time to upgrade when Windows 11 comes out, but before then I am hoping to have a reply on my other thread from anyone who has got iMon working on Windows 10, to set my mind at ease

Now, the question of filepaths. I have combined two former drives on one larger HDD. I could set up a Network Drive to point to my moved files but that involves going through the router every time I want data, which seems fairly pointless to me, and potentially slows everything down. I prefer to use subst to achieve something similar but the settings are wiped at system shutdown. Where is this leading...

I thought there was somewhere in MP where I could instruct it to run a programme when it starts. Am I wrong?

I can easily write an AutoHotkey script and compile it into an exe. I would rather have MP run the script than put it into the Windows StartUp menu, as I want to ensure the process is completed before the main MP processes being.

Just for anyone's interest, this is how to use an AutoHotkey script to set up a 'fake' drive G pointing to a folder called 'G' in the root directory of the 'F' Drive...

RunWait %comspec% /c "subst G: F:\G",,Hide
ExitApp

If there is a place where I can tell MP to run a program when it starts, that would be fantastic,

Many thanks
RH
