StMaSi Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Is there any way to create a script that will execute, hidden in the background (non-desktop session) and still be able to interact with Windows control panel applets? I'm trying to create one that launches the Set Default Programs control panel applet, send some keystrokes and such, then close. Unfortunately, it only seems to work when the script is executed in the desktop session...making it visible to everyone. Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModemJunki Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hello, Instead of GUI automation for this task, why not use the FTYPE or ASSOC commands? That would be easy to automate. Have a look here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/06d35f90-56cb-4dec-b326-bd471d06acee/change-default-program-for-file-command-line-or-registry?forum=w7itprogeneral Or perhaps even look into editing the registry directly? I think if you search the forums this has been answered before. Always carry a towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StMaSi Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Finally figured it out. Used a local variable to store the run command and just referenced said variable with the winwait and winactivate functions. Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
