Minimize All

[Paulie]

How would you go about hiding everything except the desktop image, I have this, (taken from another script)

WinMinimizeAll()
WinSetState("Classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", @SW_HIDE)
WinSetState("Program Manager", "", @SW_HIDE)

But it leaves the taskbar at the bottom, how do i get rid of that?

[spyrorocks]

;start of your script
processclose("explorer.exe")

;end of your script
run("explorer.exe")

that will get rid of the taskbar, until the end of your script.

Close but no cigar,

it sorta worked for a sec, but it immediatly ran explorer and only worked for a second

Heres the program im writing if somone wants to tweak a little(or a lot)

Its just a phoney joke thing to make someone thing theres something goining on with their Computer

WinMinimizeAll()
WinSetState("Classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", @SW_HIDE)
WinSetState("Program Manager", "", @SW_HIDE)
;*******************************************
$answer1 = Msgbox (48, "Begining Dump of Physical Memory", "Error #1143396- A critical error has occured. Wiping physical memory")
    If $answer1=1 Then
Blockinput(1)
ProgressOn("Physical Memory Dump","Dumping Physical Memory...","Dumping...")

For $i = 10 to 100 step 1
    sleep(1000)
    ProgressSet( $i, $i & " %")
Next
    Blockinput(0)
    ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "Complete")
    sleep(500)
    ProgressOff()
    MsgBox(0, "Dump Complete", "Dump Completed, all files restored")
    Sleep(10000)
    WinMinimizeAllUndo()
    WinSetState("Classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", @SW_SHOW)
    WinSetState("Program Manager", "", @SW_SHOW)
    Else
Msgbox (0, "One button only?"," How the hell did this happen?")
WinMinimizeAllUndo()
WinSetState("Classname=Shell_TrayWnd", "", @SW_SHOW)
WinSetState("Program Manager", "", @SW_SHOW)
endIf

I sorta overcomplicated it with the answer thing but it doesn't matter really

I need help closing the Taskbar! with something involving "@SW_SHOW"-"@SW_HIDE"

TY

I think you are just missing 1 tiny piece.

Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) 

Winsetstate("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","",@SW_HIDE)
Sleep (5000)
Winsetstate("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","",@SW_Show)

I do believe setting that option will be all you need for your script to function.

If this helps at all, holding down the windows key and pressing M will minimize everything on the screen. That might help or it might not. Just thought I'd throw that out.....

Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

Winsetstate("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","",@SW_HIDE)

Sleep (5000)

Winsetstate("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","",@SW_Show)

OMG i cant believe i forgot that.

well thank you i feel like such an idiot

OK, i may be a little bit late, but here is the BEST way to do it...

expandcollapse popup

WinMinimizeAll()
AdlibEnable ("taskbar")
WinSetState("Program Manager", "", @SW_HIDE)
;*******************************************
$answer1 = Msgbox (48, "Begining Dump of Physical Memory", "Error #1143396- A critical error has occured. Wiping physical memory")
    If $answer1=1 Then
Blockinput(1)
ProgressOn("Physical Memory Dump","Dumping Physical Memory...","Dumping...")

For $i = 10 to 100 step 1
    sleep(1000)
    ProgressSet( $i, $i & " %")
Next
    Blockinput(0)
    ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "Complete")
    sleep(500)
    ProgressOff()
    MsgBox(0, "Dump Complete", "Dump Completed, all files restored")
    Sleep(10000)
    WinMinimizeAllUndo()
    start()
    WinSetState("Program Manager", "", @SW_SHOW)
    Else
Msgbox (0, "One button only?"," How the hell did this happen?")
WinMinimizeAllUndo()
start()
WinSetState("Program Manager", "", @SW_SHOW)
endIf

func taskbar()
if ProcessExists ("explorer.exe") then
ProcessClose ( "explorer.exe" )
endif
endfunc

func start()
AdlibDisable ( )
run("explorer.exe")
endfunc

That way, there is NO recovery. The person can not possably recover from that while the script is running.
