What kind of information are you wanting to get from the comspec window? Most DOS commands allow redirecting to a file or pipe, so it may be easier to just dump the output to a log file. I'd actually recommend redirection over screen-scrapes, since some apps may flush/overwrite the current screen. ...Just something to keep in mind.

I'm not sure why you'd want the script to never end, but since most of the code is repetative I'd probably do something like the following: Dim $colors = StringSplit("D098B0,0085EC,B5B3B3,22AC53,C0FFFF,43F0FF,FF3737,FF8965,03AF03,D4D0C8",",") Dim $flag = 0 WinWaitActive("Shimlar - Microsoft Internet Explorer") While 1; This routine will never end... PixelSearch ( 493, 262, 691, 283, 0x00FF50, 1 ) If Not @error Then Sleep(4500) MouseClick("left", 544, 271 ) $flag = 1 Else MouseClick("left", 780, 168 ) Sleep(2000) For $i = 1 to (ubound($colors) - 1) PixelSearch ( 518, 208, 821, 825, 0x & $colors[$i], 1 ) If Not @error Then $flag = 1 ExitLoop Else Sleep(100) EndIf Next EndIf If ($flag = 1) Then Sleep(4500) MouseClick("left", 780, 168 ) Sleep(5500) MouseClick("left", 594, 195 ) $flag = 0 EndIf WEnd You could also place all of the search colors/areas within different arrays and make the code even more compact. Please keep in mind that this code has not been tested, and I'm a little rusty with AutoIt script as of late. Hope this helps!

My post was just provided as an fyi to fabio's request for help within the Windows NT environment. I wanted to provide an example that I have used with great success within the NT, 2000, and XP environments.

I've noticed that on a few different platforms that the IE browser executable "iexplore.exe" doesn't always reside within the system paths. So calling "iexplore http://www.google.com" doesn't always work. Likewise, URL formatting isn't always recognized by all mime-type librarys; so using a url by itself will also occasionally result in an error. Just FYI...

The standard input statement allows a default value to be specified. If you're wanting to have a custom input box with a different look, then you'd need to create your own with AutoIt GUI. I made an example script for another user a few weeks back that may prove helpful. I didn't really worry about error-checking the date format, so there's some bugs around the logic - however feel free to take a look at the post. Hope this helps!

Another way is to use the computer's registered browser: $Browser = "rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler" $URL = "http://www.google.com" $Launch = "START /MIN " & $Browser & " " & $URL Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & Chr(34) & $Launch & Chr(34), "", @SW_HIDE)

AWicons Lite is a great Freeware icon editor. Here's the homepage.

My recommendation would be to go to the logitec website and download the correct drivers for the device. Their drivers may have an auto-correct feature to handle the changing environmental noise levels. (Or a way to disable the feature all together.) You could build a policing script that monitors the registry values for the microphone volume and ensure that they're changed back to a preset (of your choosing) after a second delay... But this method isn't recommended, and may have some undesired effects.

Check the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics Hope this helps!

I could be wrong, but I don't believe that AutoIt supports multi-threaded processes. ...At least not the current stable release.

Since you're using Symantec Antivirus, I'm assuming that you have administrator rights on the system. There is another package called Symantec System Center that allows system administrators the ablity to create, deploy, and lock down security features so that your users are not able to change the configuration settings. Hope this helps! Edit: ( Symantec AntiVirus Features)

These other keys will also help to lock the system down a bit more: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer] "NoActiveDesktopChanges"=dword:00000001 "NoSetActiveDesktop"=dword:00000001 "NoNetHood"=dword:00000001 "NoFind"=dword:00000001 "NoRun"=dword:00000001 "NoChangeStartMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoFolderOptions"=dword:00000001 "NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000001 "NoSetTaskbar"=dword:00000001 "NoTrayContextMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoFileMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoViewContextMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoMSAppLogo5ChannelNotify"=dword:00000001 ...Although these keys help to secure the system, please keep in mind that some would-be attackers are very determined and could still gain control of the box. It would also help to make sure that people don't have physical access to the power cord, floppy/cd drives, or USB/network ports on the system. BTW: Good job on the script!

My bad.. Sorry for being an idiot.

Sounds like a good idea... But to be honest, I'm having a little difficulty understaning how this could be accomplished for a complied script (without significan bloat).

The #include statement does not include another script for execution... (Run may be used to launch compiled scripts.) When you #include "somefile.au3", you are basically telling your script to look within "somefile.au3" when you reference a function that is not defined within the current file. If the referenced function resides within the "somefile.au3" file, then it will call that routine instead of throwing an error. The #include functionality allows you to build your own User Defined Library (UDF) of common functions so that you don't have to keep adding the same code snippets to each new script. The help file contains examples for most commands/statements, and additional examples may be found within the FAQ area of the help file. You could also browse the v3 Scripts and Scraps area on this site, or Search the forums for related topics. Hope this helps!
