HotKeyNet & Symlinks for Multiple Copies of WoW
First, I'd like to say thanks to Freddie over @ HotKeyNet for an outstanding program. I triple-box my lock, priest and mage in PiP mode and broadcast keys and mouseclicks with HotKeyNet all for free. Much appreciation goes to Freddie for all his work spent on giving us this program for no cost. I salute you and thank you.
I use a custom script I wrote to launch all 3 WoW's with 1 key that: Launches 3x WoW's, Removes window frames, Sets PiP mode and logs me in up to the authenticator screen. I have been running everything from 1 copy but would like to symlink 3 copies instead. With what I've written though it launches all 3 from the same directory and I can't figure how to make it launch from 3 separate directories instead. Is is possible to do this with HotKeyNet? Is it a sub-routine I need to write? Forgive me if this has been covered as I actually do read these forums as well as HotKeyNet's forums and maybe I've just missed it. Here is my script as well:
