RobberBaron Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi, sorry, I'm new, quick question: how would I move the mouse to the start menu button if the user has it in the top right of the screen? Also, is there a better way to find the button wherever it is? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakillon Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Thanks, but it's clicking the little taskbar arrow button. Are you sure it's Button1?You are well talking about "Windows" start menu button ? For me it's Button1 and it open start menu.If on your computer it's not Button1, use autoit windo info tool for get it ! Edit :It works in XP but of course not in Windows 7He doesn't precise his OS...

jvanegmond Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I don't exactly what your purpose is, but you can also do this: Send("{LWIN}") It might just be easier to avoid the start menu all together. For example, if you trying to click Start->Run->calc.exe->OK , then you might as well just: Run("calc.exe") Edited February 23, 2011 by Manadar github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobberBaron Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks, using Send("{LWIN}" worked perfect And yes, I am using Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
