Thanks. I tried this: Run>Net Stop PurgeIE_Service But it didn't work. I also tried this (note the last line), but it didn't work either. VBSTART Sub killProcess(pgm) set wmi = getobject("winmgmts:") sQuery = "select * from win32_process " & "where name='" & pgm & "'" set processes = wmi.execquery(s...

Hi, I have a new task-manager process that is running and doesn't seem to get killed with your VBScript code above. The name of the process is PurgeIE_Service. It continues to run even after I close the main program (called PurgeIE). This process does not end in .exe on the task manager, like most o...

When a macro is running, if you could change the system tray icon to yellow as usual, but without the flashing, that would be real nice. The flashing always draws my eyes up to that part of the screen, when my eyes should really be focusing on the work at hand. Of course it's nice to know somehow th...

Well you certainly made that look relatively easy (and painless), and it works beautifully too! Thanks so much,

Damn, I wish I knew VB!! Looking at your script, I'm at a loss as to where to insert AcroRd32.exe in order to get this script to work for me. Can anyone help? All I want to do is hit a hotkey, and have AcroRd32.exe terminated from my TaskManager Processes tab. It looks like your VB script will work,...

Hi, If I open a .pdf file in my browser, and then close my browser, AcroRead32.exe continues to run in the background. I can make it stop by opening up Task Manager, and going to the Processes tab and making it stop that way. But I would prefer to use a hotkey since it happens a little more frequent...

Ah yes, that works! Thanks!

Wow, I just figured it out. I was using the input command incorrectly. No wonder the edi command wasn't functioning properly!

G'night.

I'm trying to pass a variable to the edi command, but I can't seem to make it work. I've tried the following simple macro as an experiment. input>banana input>apple edi>c:\blue.ini, banana, apple, fig newton After running this command, I enter the following inputs: For the banana input, I enter yell...

Is there a way to keep messages from becoming the active window when they pop up using the MSG> command? For example, let's say I'm browsing the internet with Internet Explorer, and one of my macros goes off and a message pops on the screen and says, "hello", ... is there a way to keep that message ...

Thanks Marcus. I no longer have the need at the moment for moving child and alert windows, but the next time the need arises I will check out those two functions you mentioned.

Thanks again,
Kwhiz

Currently, you have only one command that you can use to identify a window. That's the GAW command, which returns the window name. However, there are many windows that don't seem to work well with this command. Windows such as child windows and alert windows, and certain windows where the title is c...

. Oh yes, thank you for responding, I think I understand better now. For those of you who understand the old BASIC computer programming language (my only computer programming experience, and that was from 20 years ago), I was confusing the word "modal" to be the equivalent of the BASIC command, "inp...

Thanks for your reply, but if possible I would like to put the real time into a MODAL dialog. I already have a large modal dialog set up which stays open throughout the day and constantly waits for input. I would like to insert the current time into the modal dialog, give or take a minute (it doesn'...

I want to display (and update) the real time within a button in a modal dialog. Is this possible? I tried the following script, but it didn't work. It displays the real time initially, but the time doesn't update. gettime>time dialog>timerdialog left=300 top=300 width=300 height=300 button=time,20,2...
