Thornhunt Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 ok for my computing exam we have to make and compleate a project. we have to make a program and i chose to do a kind of Gui/desktop my idea.. is : to compleatly hide the origional windows one *remove it if possible* to show imagebuttons (maybe animated on rollover) that are dragable to show Cpu % usage as a icon that is moveable to show memory % usage as icon that is moveable to always run on startup/user log in and if possible to have its own file explorer. if you understand what i mean.. i know that some of it is possible. but i would like t know on a whole. or wich arnt p.s Example in attachment Budweiser + room = warm beerwarm beer + fridge = too long!warm beer + CO2 fire extinguisher = Perfect![quote]Protect the easly offended ...

oMBRa Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Make a GUI that is as big as the desktop's size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornhunt Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 thanks .. and i was going to do that or make a splash screen (as the background) depending on the awkuardness to remove the border and menu ect of the GUI and im am more cuiouse about the making the file explorer. the cpu usage .. AND if someone could please state how flexible image buttons are (assighning the button property to a image..) and can you make them transparent and runn off of the GUI ?

Mat Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 There are registry keys to comletely hide the taskbar, but One big GUI is better. Are we allowed to help you out here with code?? if it's for your exam then I have a funny feeling that we're not. but: RegDelete ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2") $sKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" RegWrite ($sKey, "NoSetTaskbar", "REG_DWORD", "00000001") RegWrite ($sKey, "NoTrayItemsDisplay", "REG_DWORD", "00000001") RegWrite ($sKey, "HideClock", "REG_DWORD", "00000001") RegWrite ($sKey, "NoToolbarsOnTaskbar", "REG_DWORD", "00000001") RegWrite ($sKey, "NoTrayContextMenu", "REG_DWORD", "00000001") RegWrite ($sKey, "NoSaveSettings", "REG_DWORD", "00000000") Untested code. and I recommend finding out how to restore it before removing it...

MDiesel ahhhh that could help alot and yes help is allowed aslong as i make a note on how i was helped. ect ect and perhaps instead of deleting the registrys.. renaming? and implimenting a restore program in the project package Edited June 18, 2009 by Thornhunt Budweiser + room = warm beerwarm beer + fridge = too long!warm beer + CO2 fire extinguisher = Perfect![quote]Protect the easly offended ...

Mat Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Exactly . When you install, write to a registry key called backup under your program key. usually local machine\software\projectname. Or even easier: Run ("Regedit.exe \E """ & @ScriptDir & "\Backup.reg"" ""HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2""") Run ("Regedit.exe \E """ & @ScriptDir & "\Backup2.reg"" ""HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer""") There you go! I am not sure how to combine the files. except maybe: $hFile = FileOpen (@ScriptDir & "\Backup2.reg", 0) $sFile = FileRead ($hFile) FileFlush ($hFile) FileDelete (@ScriptDir & "\Backup2") $sFile = StringTrimLeft ($sFile, 37); trim Windows registry editor version 5.00 $hFile = FileOpen (@ScriptDir & "\Backup.reg", 1) FileWrite ($hFile, $sFile) FileFlush ($hFile) MDiesel AutoIt Project Listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornhunt Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 that should work.. i think il test it later on my other pc incase i have troubles restoring the registrys. hmm i might add the registry restore at the end of the project. so like when shutting down or closing it changes the registry back. could be hany if the project is closed unexpectidly. hmm my level of excitement and hope has just drasticly increased and think this actually might work perfectly also.. with the whole able to use script thing.. i would rather be pointed in directions than have the code straight away.. because A: i dont want to seem like im looking for others to do it for me.. and B: helps me learn -thorn- Budweiser + room = warm beerwarm beer + fridge = too long!warm beer + CO2 fire extinguisher = Perfect![quote]Protect the easly offended ...
