Newbie: Tweaking Help

[Guest woodman40]

This is my first AutoIt script and my first forum post here. The script will reside on library public access computers and will initiate an Encarta session. This works but it is a little slow and has a couple of points where patrons with bad impulse control can intervene.

I know I can tweak the Sleep settings but is there a more elegant way to do this with hidden execution and a little more speed?

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE ")

Sleep(5000)

ClipPut ("http://login.passport.com/login.srf?lc=1033&id=30352&ru=http%3a%2f%2fencarta.msn.com%2fencnet%2fsignin%2fsigninmain.aspx%3fsc%3d1%26cred%3d7%26tgt%3dhttp%253a%252f%252fencarta.msn.com%252fDefault.aspx&tw=14400&kv=5&ct=1105659257&ems=1&ver=2.1.6000.1&tpf=23b6172d317b0161ef082733a818109d")

Send("!d")

Sleep(200)

Send("^v")

Send("{ENTER}")

Sleep(4000)

ClipPut ( "ALoginName" )

Send("^v")

Send("{tab}")

ClipPut ( "APassword" )

Send("^v")

Send("{enter}")

I don't have time to comment this code, but it might work... You can try using the BlockInput once you are sure the code works. Make sure there aren't any popup windows that might interefere such as Windows XP SP2 feature about a popup window being blocked.

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 1);speed things up a bit

;;;;BlockInput(1)
$IE = @ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
$url = "http://login.passport.com/login.srf?lc=1033&id=30352&ru=http%3a%2f%2fencarta.msn.com%2fencnet%2fsignin%2fsigninmain.aspx%3fsc%3d1%26cred%3d7%26tgt%3dhttp%253a%252f%252fencarta.msn.com%252fDefault.aspx&tw=14400&kv=5&ct=1105659257&ems=1&ver=2.1.6000.1&tpf=23b6172d317b0161ef082733a818109d"

WinWaitActive("Please sign in - Microsoft Internet Explorer")
