ok so I wanted a tool that could help me and my fellow faculty to keep control of the class. As well as aid in regular functions. Like creating logins for students, loading programs, displaying images, locking the desktop (so they don't sit and do something else during a lecture), minimize all windows (like email and web surfing.. again to promote class attention).

Anyway, this is the teacher's end of the tool. I have annother script I'm mostly done that I'll post later which is the slave program that sits there and waits for the INI file to arrive and do the functions.

so.. here it is.. I'm sure somethings can be reduced to make it more simplified. feel free to post corrections or ideas.

the computers names are related to our one classroom and will be altered for other classes in our department as they can be for those of you who might find other uses for this.

enjoy

Hi - did you ever finish the slave version of this script as I would be very interested in using it at the school where I work.

Cheers,

Jock.

Why not just copy it to ONE file on a shared disc, if you have it?

Just add seperate categories:

[digi21]
Command
[digi22]
Command

I made something similar to this, much less 'feature filled' though. :lmao:

Try this.... Note that this example uses the updated GUI syntax, so you need the latest beta version of AutoIt
