Is there any way to set a hot key to load the Window info panel

[tommytx123]

In the good old days i remember the Windows Info panel had a button on the main program that would bring up the win info tool.

I have tried a batch tool and it does not work. The only thing i have found that works which is a pain is to type c:\Program Files (x86) plus the rest of the path to the .exe file into the Windows Start panel... and that works but is a real pain. My WinInfo tool is in Program Files (x86) is that correct...

But bottom line is there a simpler way to bring this Win Info tool up with a one button like a HotKey?

Maybe if you gave more information about what the Windows Info panel is, I could be more precise.

ShellExecute("ms-settings:about")

or you could make a shortcut with the command
explorer ms-settings:about
and there you can give the HotKey you want
e.g. alt+shift+i

This is the Windows Info tool I am referring to .. what do you folks call it.

c:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIT3\Au3Info.exec

Its has the Finder Coordinate tool that everyone must have used many times.

If i dump that url above onto my windows system it comes up .. but that URL did not work in a dos batch file..

Surely with all this technology many have found an easy way to access the Windows Info Tool...

It used to be a simple button on the original Autoit editor long ago ..  Not sure why its not on the autoitsite4you now..

I will try the shellexecute command  on that URL, maybe that will bring it up.  Thanks for the suggestions,,

ok now I understand, you mean AutoIt Info Windows .
The same recipe applies.

make a shortcut in desktop with the command
"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Au3Info.exe"
and there you can give the HotKey you want
e.g. alt+shift+i

or if you have SciTE open, it already has the shortcut ctrl+shift+F6

Extra:
look at scite-plusbar
look at taskpin
