Thank you for those suggestions. I think my best options would be either PHP or an AutoIt GUI. My concern about the PHP is that someone might see it, so I think it would need to be password-protected. Thank you again.

Best program for displaying small images with notes? I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I don't know where else to ask. If I'm using bad netiquette, please let me know. I'm a teacher, and I'd like to try an easier method to grade tests. I have scans of the students' answer sheets: I'd like to create a view of all of the Question 1 answers, so I can grade them first. Then all of the Question 2 answers, and so on: I'm already using AutoIt and the photo program IrfanView to save all of the small images. I thought I'd be able to put those small images into a spreadsheet program, like Excel, but I now see that won't work. Excel doesn't anchor images to any one cell, so when I record the points in adjacent cells, they may not stay with the right question. Does anyone have any idea what the best program would be to do this? I'd like to be able to open the resulting file on any computer. Thank you for your advice. – Michael

Earthshine, Thank you again! In that case, I'll definitely try it. – Michael

Earthshine, Coded UI projects does look like a powerful solution. I had never heard of it before. Unfortunately, I don't have Visual Studio Enterprise. I only have the free Express version. I'll try to find a PC with a full version of Visual Studio, so i can try that. In any case, it's good to know. Thank you. – Michael

Thanks for the tip! It looks like that is giving me useful information. I'll see if I can get it working.

I need to click a checkbox in a Windows application, and the location may move (see attached). I was planning to use OCR (like Tesseract), or something similar. Do you know of a better solution? I believe the Windows application was written in C#. I ran the "Window Info" dialog, and hovered the mouse over the check boxes, but the control is the same for all the check boxes. I tried the ImageSearch DLL mentioned in other threads, but found it problematic. Whatever solution I find has to work on users' computers, running different versions of Windows. I appreciate any help you can provide.

LarsJ, I'm very sorry I never responded to your post, especially since you wrote such an excellent, detailed answer. I didn't know to "follow" this thread, so I never got an e-mail. Again, please accept my apology. Thank you for the code! It fills my needs beautifully. You mentioned that "this is a lot of code just to set the current folder". Here's my situation: I use speech recognition, and like to go to a folder by saying, "folder multimedia" or "folder PHP". Until now, I've had AutoIt go to the Windows Explorer address bar and "Send" the folder (which is slow), or paste the folder (which replaces the existing clipboard contents). So your solution here works better than either of those. Given my situation, is there a better way that I'm not aware of? Thank you again. Sincerely, Michael

LarsJ, Thank you for these functions. I really needed something like this. My question is: How can I use SetCurrentFolder to go to one of my folders? Like "C:\My Folder\My Subfolder" I've read through the examples, but wasn't able to figure it out. Will I need to use a pointer to the PIDL of the folder? If so, how do I get that? Thank you. – Michael
