"Windows Logo" key

Post by lebrocoli » Wed Oct 17, 2007 4:18 pm

Hi,

In section 4.10.6 of the user guide, it states the keys that can be used.

I would like to use the key called "Windows Logo" but I do not see it there, is that possible?

Thanks

Oh I see. I got confused by the "Windows 95 Key" text just besides.

Thanks.

That is confusing, but they do work in XP, maybe it means 95 and later?

Using Windows key in a macro

Post by ABIVEN » Wed Dec 01, 2010 9:18 am

Hello

I want to use " back to the desktop" in a macro via WindowsKey+D



With the record tool D does'nt appear

With the script tool (Press LWinKey etc ) the result is only WindowsKey.

Why ?

Thanks

LClick
Wait>0.28
MouseMove>276,375
Wait>6.36
Press LWinKey
Wait>0.29
Release LWinKey
…
Press CTRL
Wait>0.38
Send>y
Wait>0.23
Release CTRL

What is your Macro Scheduler version? What is your operating system?

I'm using MS v12.0.9 and Win XP SP3
