accept license agreement

[ptt]

after i install a software such as cpu freq...using automate autoit......after it is finisihed ....i double click on the shortcut of the displayfre.exe ..it ask for liscence agreement ...wonder if there is anyway to write in registry to accept the agreement instead of hitting on the button "accept" ? or anyway to bypass the license windows so when i hit on the file it just open the main window?

Many programs detect first runs and give accept agreements by checking the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Halo\FIRSTRUN

That is the registry key the game Halo uses to tell if it has been run on the system before. It uses a dword value and when it has been run its value is 1. If the user rejects the license agreement, the value is 0.

Not sure what it is for dusplayfre.exe, but i would look in similar places in the registry.

Do you mean around the desktop or to a different folder? Around the desktop can be accomplished with the following function:

MouseClickDrag ( "button", x1, y1, x2, y2 [, speed] )

The easiest way to re-arrange icons in a desktop would be to have autoit search the desktop folder like this:

#include <File.au3>
$av_UserDesktop = _FileListToArray ( @Desktopdir, "*.lnk" , 1);to get the list of current shortcuts on a user's desktop
$av_CommonDesktop = _FileListToArray(@DesktopCommonDir, "*.lnk",1);to get the list of current shortcuts for the all users desktop location

If IsArray($av_UserDesktop) Then
    Local $szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt
    DirCreate(@ScriptDir & "\UserDesktop\")
    For $i_intcount = 1 to $av_UserDesktop[0]
        _PathSplit($av_UserDesktop[$i_intcount],$szDrive, $szDir, $szFName, $szExt
        FileMove($av_UserDesktop[$i_intcount],@ScriptDir & "\UserDesktop\" &  $szFName & $szExt)
    Next
Else
    Msgbox(0,"Error","There was an error creating the array with _FileListToArray()")
EndIf

That code is untested, but it will remove all the desktop icons and place them in a folder called UserDesktop in the same location as the script. Once this is done, you could then move the icons back to the desktop in a pre-arranged order. By moving them back in a certain order, they should be placed on the desktop in a certain arrangement. Icons that are moved first will appear in the top left of the desktop. Icons that are moved last will appear in the bottom right. That would be the easiest way in my opinion to move the desktop icons around in a pre-arranged order.
