Guest sjrixon Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi all, I am new to all this!! I am trying to open the Windows systems properties box. This normally involves holding the Windows key and pressing break. I tried this Send("{LWINDOWN}") Send("{BREAK}") send("{LWINUP}") If I change the Break to and 'e' it launches explorer fine. I guess it doesn't like break! Cheers, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confidentstrategery Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I didn't find {BREAK} in the help file. Alternatively, maybe you can try: Send("{APPSKEY}") Send("r") to open up the context menu and select "Properties". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberSlug Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 It's actually Pause instead of Break; Microsoft's documentation is wrong!And you can use # for the Windows key:Send("#{Pause}") Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!
