Final teething problems with Unimacro

Unimacro

1 - the scrolling option was working fine at first, but now it starts with an initial jump (it jumped about the equivalent of a page-down) before moving down line by line. I may have changed something in the way it scrolls by trying to send other commands (not related to scrolling) before right to stop. How do I restore the original behaviour?

2 - Since I installed Unimacro, I seem to be getting strange behaviour in the Dictation Box. So some reason, it doesn't always start sentences with an initial cap anymore.

3 - I get a few warning messages when I first start Dragon. They are as follows:

warning _folders, virtualdrive "nl" does not exist: d:\natlink
warning _folders, folder "unimacro" does not exist: "nl:\unimacro"
warning _folders, folder "natlink system" does not exist: "C:\Program Files\natlink\macrosystem\core"
warning _folders, file "python natlinkmain" does not exist: "C:\Program Files\natlink\macrosystem\core\natlinkmain.py"

I suspect this is to do with the fact that some of the configuration files from my old installation have remained, even though the new installation uses a different folder structure. I don't suppose somebody can tell me what I need to do to get rid of these warning messages?

I think I had a couple of other things, but I can't remember right now. If I remember the others I'll paste them.

about 1: tell a bit

about 1: tell a bit more

about 2: I saw this as well, but did not link it to unimacro or natlink.

about 3: say "edit folders", and edit the section folders or the section virtualdrives. Not an error, just a few lines in your _folders.ini file that are not pointing to valid folders. Does not do any harm either,

Issue 1 is solved. Thanks.

I'm not sure how else I can explain the issue 3. When you want to scroll down, with the keyboard you would normally pressed the down arrow lots of times. This was the behaviour that used to happen with the scrolling command. But now this command is doing the equivalent of pressing PageDown, then pushing the down arrow lots of times, which means I'm missing half of the webpage that I'm trying to read. Open up a webpage, then press PageDown immediately followed by the down arrow and you should see what I mean.

I've thought of one of the other things I was going to mention. In my folder "D:\Documents" I have a short cut to the folder "D:\Documents\work\TO3000\Business\Projects". I use this folder often, so the shortcut makes it quicker to get there. Since I installed Unimacro, some reason when I double-click or press centre on the shortcut, it opens up the target in a new window, rather than in the same window. My D drive is a portable drive, and yesterday I was using it on another computer, and I didn't get this behaviour. Could this be something to do with Unimacro, or is it just a coincidence that this has started happening after I installed Unimacro?

Another problem

I have this in my _folders.ini file:

[files]
python natlinkmain = pf:/natlink/macrosystem/core/natlinkmain.py
bills = D:\Documents\Factures.xls
accounts = D:\Documents\work\Taxation\2008\Accounts_2008.xls

When I say "file accounts", it tries to open up the file in Notepad. I've no idea why this is happening, because my default programme for xls files is Excel, and type the same path into the Windows run box, the file opens correctly in Excel.
