Show desktop context menu

[gmh2000]

The following code doesn't work because of the context menu which appears is the context menu of the first file on the desktop instead the context menu when you click on a empty space of it.

WinActivate("Program Manager")
Send("{APPSKEY}")
Opt("WinWaitDelay", 100)
SEND("O") ; O is the first letter of "Opciones Gráficas"
SEND("S") ; S is the first letter of "Salida para"
SEND("P") ; T is the first letter of "Portátil"

Any idea? Thanks in advance!

For me it works with the context menu of the desktop?!

Maybe you could try with WinMinimizeAll and MouseClick.

Edit: Now I figured out your problem. Here is the solution:

#Include <GuiListView.au3>
$hLV = ControlGetHandle('Program Manager', '', 'SysListView321')
_GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($hLV, -1, 0)

WinActivate("Program Manager")
Send("{APPSKEY}")

;~ Opt("WinWaitDelay", 100)
;~ SEND("O") ; O is the first letter of "Opciones Gráficas"
;~ SEND("S") ; S is the first letter of "Salida para"
;~ SEND("P") ; T is the first letter of "Portátil"

Along the same line as Funkey but using keyboard only

activate the desktop window and send shift f10

#include <GUIListView.au3>

Global Const $WM_RBUTTONDOWN = 0x0204
Global Const $WM_RBUTTONUP = 0x0205

Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("Program Manager")
Local $hLV = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", "SysListView321")

Local $aHitTest

For $i = 0 To @DesktopWidth Step @DesktopWidth/4
    $aHitTest = _GUICtrlListView_HitTest($hLV, $i, @DesktopHeight/2)
    
    If $aHitTest[0] < 0 Then
        _WinAPI_PostMessage($hLV, $WM_RBUTTONDOWN, 2, BitOR(BitShift(@DesktopHeight/2, -16), $i))
        _WinAPI_PostMessage($hLV, $WM_RBUTTONUP, 2, BitOR(BitShift(@DesktopHeight/2, -16), $i))
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
