Hidden Macro?

[Robin]

I doubt if this can be done, but here goes...I have recently been approached and was asked if a macro can be executed hidden...Can it?

ie

CODE START:

Run("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl,,4")

Send("{TAB}")

Sleep(500)

Send("{TAB}")

Sleep(500)

Send("{TAB}")

Sleep(500)

Send("{TAB}")

Sleep(500)

Send("{ENTER}")

CODE END:

Not with send, as that just mimics the keyboard sending the info, you will probably need to give more information about what you aer trying to do, and find another way too do it.

Not this way... but I see you're trying to access the internet settings. Normally all operations related to those settings can also be performed with RegWrite().

Two thoughts:

[1] I guess you could set the transparency on the active window to zero with WinSetTrans

[2] You could, perhaps, move the Window entirely off the screen but still keep it active

Having said that, you *would* be better to access the registry to make the changes if that's what you're looking to do.
