Right click on the desktop

Hi,

I need to open the Display preferences window. To do so I need to right click in an empty space on the desktop. The problem is that I do not know how to find an "empty" space in the desktop automatically. Is there an easy way of doing this in autoit? Or perhaps there is a better way of opening the display properties in windows XP?

Thanks in advance!

The following will ACTUALLY right-click the desktop if you need to do something like arranging the desktop icons or something as well:

WinActivate("Program Manager")
Send("{DOWN}{LEFT}{UP}{RIGHT}^{SPACE}{APPSKEY}")

It activates the desktop, makes sure no icons are selected, and then right clicks. In the new unstable, It will also be possible to interact with the folderview on the desktop directly to make sure there are no icons selected.

Who else would I be?
