Developer's Corner / Autohotkey script help

« on: July 03, 2008, 04:40 AM »

Good Day!

I am new to scripting using Autohotkey. Basically what i want to do is to automate a task in Excel using one hotkey. I am using a laptop with no key to simulate the right mouse click so created a autohotkey script to remap CTRL+Delete to simulate the right mouse click.

Im stumped on what to do next, after the right click simulation i need to send some keys so that Excel will do some functions for me

E.g.
Press the hotkey i assigned so simulate right click
press s for paste special
press v for values
and then press enter

this is what the ahk looks like

^Ins::Send, {SHIFTDOWN}{F10}{SHIFTUP}
WinWait, ,
IfWinNotActive, , , WinActivate, ,
WinWaitActive, ,
Send, s
WinWait, Paste Special,
IfWinNotActive, Paste Special, , WinActivate, Paste Special,
WinWaitActive, Paste Special,
Send, v{ENTER}

id appreciate it if someone helps me. thanks..

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: PROG TO REMEMBER DESKTOP ICON LAYOUT

« on: July 02, 2008, 02:14 AM »

Hi.. This is my first time posting here..

I have a dilemma at our office. Basically we use Windows NT because of its flexibility in networking. Our IT department has locked down on installing software on our machines. On my desktop, I want to remove system icons like My Computer, Recycle Bin, My Documents and etc. Ive been searching the net as to how to hide them on NT Machines but to no avail. What I do now is I drag them as far as possible on one side of the screen (e.g. on the left side) so that it would be "hidden" but once i reboot, always show the system icons on the left side of screen..

Illustration:

        _____________
     *|                    |    << basically this square is my screen
     *|                    |         the "*" is my icons outside
       |                    |         the what i see on my screen
        ---------------

once i reboot

       _____________
      |*                  |    << this is the layout
      |*                  |         
      |                    |         
       ---------------

Can anyone of the coders code a tool that preserves the icon layout on my desktop and once i reboot restore the layout. I know there are some softwares out there that would do the tool but since i cant install anything on my machine i cant use them.

Thanks in advance
