Opening Website by menu Help / Website or About #354

Closed nji9nji9 closed 5 years ago

nji9nji9 commented 5 years ago

When opening the browser by this, it is started with unusual menu icons (not the ones normally used). Simplewall seems to call it with special parameters? Unwanted.

nji9nji9 commented 5 years ago

OK, no special parameters, just ShellExecute (hwnd, nullptr, _APP_WEBSITE_URL, nullptr, nullptr, SW_SHOWDEFAULT); Still the effect is there (at Firefox). Anybody to confirm? Maybe it's because of https? However everything OK with other apps, for example 7zip.

Screenshot?

nji9nji9 commented 5 years ago

As wanted ... "Typical" is the way my firefox normally looks. Here invoked by 7-zip menu. "By-simplewall" is the way the browser opens when invoked by simplewall. BTW: both https. typical by_simplewall

Got it! I forgot that simplewall is ran from another account (the admin one). And from that the browser is started, which has another profile there. One more reason to point to https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall/issues/336
