warcrow Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Does anyone know how to execute something in the control panel? More specifically, I'm trying to open up the (Advanced) SMS client so I can input the sitecode. I cannot find the executable in the program files folder, so I figure this is the next step. Help?

Look in that post to get yourself to some options in control panel. While there's no SMS there but maybe there's similar way to get it working for SMS (google?)http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42400 My little company: Evotec (PL version: Evotec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaponx Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 There are way too many "See here: link" responses. If you are going to post a link, at least post a summary or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warcrow Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 look in system32 folder for cpl files, see if one will open the SMSExcellent suggestion! I found the CPL file and when I double click it, it opens. When I set up the syntax in AutoIT:Run("C:\WINXP\system32\CCM\SMSCFGRC.cpl")I get the error msg:C:\Documents and Settings\<removed>\Desktop\Projects\SMS Configuration\AI_SMS_CONFIG.au3 (1) : ==> Unable to execute the external program.: Run("C:\WINXP\system32\CCM\SMSCFGRC.cpl") But when I throw:C:\WINXP\system32\CCM\SMSCFGRC.cplinto the run box it loads up.

warcrow Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Run('control C:\WINXP\system32\CCM\SMSCFGRC.cpl')Ah ha! I figured the run command was the same a basically double-clicking a file. :"> Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
