Um the au3 file is empty. But from reading your description I have to say this. Why not make the app set the ini on it's own? I have a simlar app that I wrote for my flash drive. It allows you to pick your apps from a file dialog and ands them to the ini in the following fashion: for $x = 1 to $numApps step 1 $file=filedialog(Blah blah blah) filewrite($ini, "app"&$x&"="*$file) next That isn't the exact way to do it, but you get the idea. You can read the files in a similar way.

I realize he is young and that is why I am even bothering to try and help him. You have to change bad habits before they become set ways. Get them while they are young. Anyways, JustinReno, I am only trying to help, so please do not be angry with me. =] I am here if you need help. I may not be the best scripter, but I always find a way to get done what I want done, as long as it is within my scope. I have only posted one program here and it was just a quick thrown together script that I do not feel any poride in. My largest project that I am most proud of I am unable to post on these forums due to the nature of it. It is an app that spreads silently over my schools network. It is not malicious. I was just curious as too how far I could make it spread. And at the rate it is going, I think that it may be impossiable to get rid of without a full server wipe, or unless you use my debug app lol. But since it could be twisted into something really malicious, I can't post it. Anyways, I went off topic. Since Justin hasn't replied yet, I feel he is either working hard on something new, or he just hasn't seen these posts yet. -Maud

He edited his post.

Thats just the thing. I prefer qaulity over qaunity, therefore I am still working on my apps. I'm not saying your apps are horrid, just they aren't that amazing. I couldn't imagine anyone actually taking the time to run this and then use it. It's too in the way and inconvenient. A simple minimize to the task bar could mean a world of difference for this app. Instead of setting a hard coded home page, allow the browser to read the local registry and set the local homepage as the apps home page. Or allow the app to write it's own reg value, and allow this value to be changed by the app. Thus a home page that is dynamic. Like a real browser. For the search combo, allow for the user to select the search engine and then allow DIRECT searching from a combo or input control. And the speak option? Let's face it, it's a cute function, but really it isn't useful. The notepad, all I can say is clean up the gui and make it tighter. Maybe add some variable options. UPDATE: The word wrap only works once. But interesting. Hell, try to make it rich edit. The media player, blah okay that one is horrid. All you did was use UDFS and easily connected it to buttons. And just because there is empty gui space DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT MUST BE FILLED. Once again I enforce the "You do NOT have to fill empty GUI space." The Task manger, that's fine, but how about an auto refresh? Worried about it taking up too much process memory? Try this. If not $array[0]<>$oldList then ;;Proceed to update the processes $oldList=$array[0] endif Now that isn't a very good example, and I may have messed up the syntax, but just from reading that mangled snippet, you should be able to get an idea on how to do this. Okay moving on, the beep button is fine, for if you would like to test your speakers I guess. The alarm is fine too, but work on it. Screen flicker.. what's the point? Open scite, that's fine too. (However the average user has next to NO scripting experience, and it is doubtful that one, they have scite, 2 they use autoit.) Message box, completely pointless. New IE window, that's fine, but pretty much useless. Screen shot is already in the print screen button ON THE KEYBOARD. Hibernate is pointless. Monitor ON/OFF is fine. I was almost too worried to run it, but you set it nicely. Password creator could use some work. Ad a gui to it, and allow mulitple options such as: Encryption level, Alphanumeric or not, hex encryption, etc. Lock computer is pointless. Shutdown is also pointless. Set transparency of window is for one, way too long and ugly a phrase to be on a button. It's pretty pointless as well. Now the last tab. Did you seriously copyright that app, or did you just type that to make it look official. Now with that all done and said, listen to this. Do not take all of this the wrong way. It is constructive criticisms. I have seen some of your other apps and I liked them. However you seem to be going down hill since you became obbsessed with the whole, "simple $appName" thing. Just because the source is simple does not make it a good app. The average user will not care if it has a short source code that is easy to read. They want simplicity, good options, nice speeds. LOW CPU is good. That is above all what an app should have. I have seen some really shoddy apps that could have been better if the author had become good friends with the Task Manager. Take my comments and criticisms as you will, but know that I do not mean any of this in a malicious way. -MaudKip

ERROR: @error is not a COM object. $err[1] = @error.number

All I can say is quality over quantity. Just because it has a bunch of different apps added to one does not make it a good program. Add quality Justin. Try to improve each separate app on it's own, and the combine them in the end. I am not trying to put you down but so please do not take this as me attacking you. =]

I finally got it to work. It's really cool.

Ooooh I get it.Cool. =] So like it can use DOS commands through the console?

I don't really understand. What would this be used for?

It took me awhile to realize that the input is in the console. But It works amazingly. =] Fun to mess around with while monitoring from an alternate IRC client. Also: The source link does not work. EDIT: Never mind, it was just slow.

Sorry I spaced when I wrote that.The, part about you saying that you are lame made me laugh.

Lol, that made me laugh.

Lol, that made me laugh.

The URL says Cockel in it.

Where do you see that?
