raedts Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I am looking for a way to check if a system is a notebook without using wmi. This is because wmi is not availible at the systems i would like to check. I was thinking about checking if it has a touchpad (all the notebooks within the company have touchpads). Does anyone have idea's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdmiralAlkex Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 The last post here explains how to read battery-status from the registry, maybe that can be used?? .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raedts Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Out of the box BartPe does not support WMI. I could use XPE but that is not a option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordofthestrings Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Hmmm... good one.. registry is the way to go imho.. #cs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoIt Version: 3.2.4.9 Author: Lordofthestrings Script Function: detect powersaving options from registry.. #ce ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Add your code below here Dim $LaptopSleep $LaptopSleep = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg","CurrentPowerPolicy") If ($LaptopSleep = "1") or ($LaptopSleep = "4") or ($LaptopSleep = "5") then ; this is a laptop! EndIf as I see TzarAlkex was right about this.. Edited June 7, 2007 by lordofthestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I am looking for a way to check if a system is a notebook without using wmi.This is because wmi is not availible at the systems i would like to check.I was thinking about checking if it has a touchpad (all the notebooks within the company have touchpads).Does anyone have idea's?you could use devcon.exe (search microsoft.com) to list all installed devices. If the system shows a PCMCIA Controller, a InfraRed Controller and a Battery, chances are very good it is a Laptop.CheersKurt __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.
