Creating User Variables: Steps
Open the default menu.
Navigate to the deeply buried folder or file.
Copy the long path up to a certain directory.
Assign this path to a user variable using curly brackets
{}
.
Save the settings.
Example:
Long path to
clients folder
in a network drive.
Create a user variable
{clients}
to replace the long path.
Insertion into Favorites
Replace long path in the favorite with the new user variable.
Save changes.
Verification
Ensure the new favorite using the variable works correctly.
Benefits of Using User Variables
Time Saving:
Reduces the need to browse through deep directory structures
Consistency Across Devices:
Useful for shared menus on different machines
Ensure consistent paths for cloud drives (e.g., Dropbox) across different devices
Team Efficiency:
Shared variables among team members for consistent access to shared files
Example of Using Shared Menu & User Variables
Scenario: Shared Menu Across Different Devices
Shared menu with a common list of favorites
Problem:
Different root paths for shared files on different machines
Solution:
Use a user variable for the cloud drive path (e.g.,
{Dropbox}
)
Each user sets the
{Dropbox}
variable to their specific root path
Ensures shared menu items work on every machine
