Disable Mouse Button, Run App, Re-enable Button

[peomalle]

What I would like to accomplish seems like it would be easy via AutoIt, but I'm sure there is more to it. Basically, I need to:

1) Disable the left mouse button (or even better, have the left mouse button take on the actions of the right mouse button)

2) Launch Windows Explorer (for file management)

3) Re-enable the left mouse button once Windows Explorer is closed.

At our company, Windows Explorer is notorious for the much too "quick and easy" way that files and folders can be accidentally moved from one part of the network drive to another causing much gnashing of teeth.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Blockinput(1)

And your script :

ProcessClose("explorer.exe");The process doesn't exist so disable input
Sleep(2000);Sleep 2 seconds for test and run explorer for unblock
Run("explorer.exe")

While 1
Sleep(250)
If Not ProcessExists("explorer.exe") Then;If explorer exists then...
Blockinput(1);Block input

Blockinput(0);Unblock input if explorer exists
EndIf

If @OSVersion <> "WIN_98" And @OSVersion <> "WIN_ME" Then

BlockInput(1)

EndIf

Run("explorer.exe")

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]") ; you will need to know what the explorer.exe class name is ... this is the vista class name

;other code you need to run before unblocking inputs

BlockInput(0)
