sexuio Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) sup , been some time guys, anyhow so ive searched through the net for a solution to my request , but , apparently batch and powershell scripts cant achieve this so i hope autoit scripting can, i require a silent autoitscript for automatically setting a background at windows startup in windows desktop depending on week of the year , that being from week 1-52 all backgrounds are sorted into theyre respective week folder and the week subfolders are in a main folder called weeklybackgrounds which sits in the main root, accordingly like so > c: weeklybackgrounds > Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 .....and so on i need the background images to apply depending on what week we have , say were in week 2 ..3.. or 50 , the script has to be able to check the date in windows and autoset the background on startup, mind you the backgrounds i use are actual .mpg/.wmv clips , yes i use dreamscene, but this little bit of extra info on what exactly kind of images or clips i use should be irrelevant , since the script should be able to set .mpg, .wmv , .jpg , .jpeg , .png , .bmp , files as background without a hitch anyhow and the background files in the week folders are randomly named, thanks Edited February 26, 2015 by sexuio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the old saying: "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; give a man a net and you feed him forever". We try to be net makers and repairers, not fishmongers. Please post again when you have at least some code - even if it does not work - and we will be glad to help.

SadBunny Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I suggest looking up these functions: _DateDayOfWeek _FileListToArray RegRead/RegWrite First see if you can get the script to change the background on demand to a specific file, then expand it to remember the last used file and search the following one. Finally, put the script in your startup folder. Roses are FF0000, violets are 0000FF... All my base are belong to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two choices: 1) learn, improve skills, improve curriculum, improve salary, decrease chances of Alzheimer, 2) google "rent a coder". How do you "really really need" something that changes your background weekly? Just do it manually, it only takes 2 seconds... Roses are FF0000, violets are 0000FF... All my base are belong to you.

sexuio Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) well id rather have it autoswitch instead of having to do it manually, thats part of why scripts exist to automate tasks you should know this sadbunny , @choice 1 i learn but , i know my own limitations of complex subjects and im not great at it at all , i have no idea how learning coding would improve my salary , since my job has nothing to do with code , about alzheimer , well thats a lie cause if that where true id have alzheimer 10 years ago xD @2 , yeah rent a coder , sure ... if id make that much ive turned to the community for a helping hand not to be told to have to learn coding and scripting from scratch , which if i could learn so easily without investing years of time into i wouldntve put up this request thread , thats like telling a person that wants to use a pc to have to code his own OS in order to use it instead of getting linux or whatever , then users like me wouldnt be using pcs at all Edited February 26, 2015 by sexuio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2015 sexuio,You have been a member here since November 2011 at which time you were asking for us to code a gamebot. As it seems you regard this forum as nothing more than a place for an occasional post to ask for others to code scripts for you (which as I explained above we do not) I wonder whether it is worth you remaining a member. Certainly there is no point in letting this thread run any further. so <click> © Jos.
