Hi All,

I am a very big newbie to AutoIT (about 3hrs !)

I am modifying someone elses code that was previously used on window XP machines. The compiled executable is paused as soon as lusrmgr.msc is run (the utility opens) and then the script is paused (it appear in the task bar with a red X flicking occasionally on it. A RMB clck reveals the paused optuion with a tick.

The code snippet in use is, and is used to delete a temp user that we log into a machine once only. it is the first user in the list! :

Sleep(5000)

Send("#r")

WinWaitActive("Run", "Type the name of a program")

Sleep(2000)

Send("lusrmgr.msc")

Sleep(2000)

Send("{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("lusrmgr")

Sleep(2000)

Send("{DOWN}")

Sleep(2000)

Send("{TAB}")

Sleep(2000)

Send("{DEL}")

Sleep(2000)

Send("!y")

Sleep(2000)

Send("{ENTER}")

Sleep(2000)

Send("!f")

Sleep(2000)

Send("x")

Sleep(2000)

Send("!{F4}")

WinWaitClose("Run", "Type the name of a program")

Sleep(5000)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Regards

Peter

Hi John,

Thank you for your reply.

I should have mentioned that the script is to be used on Win 7 machines...

I added the mentioned line to the script...It stalls at the same point except the tray icon does not indicate paused !

Any other ideas ?

Thankyou

Regards

Peter

Couldn't you do the same thing using the Run command and the command line "net user <username> /delete"? Instead of trying to automate the Local User management console?

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
