I'm trying to see if I can get some stuff in Win7 sent across to notepad (for now) in XP Mode. Here's what I primarily have:

Code:
F6:: ControlSend,, {Space}, Notepad


It works if I have a Notepad document open (not necessarily in focus) in Win7. It works if I have Notepad in focus in XP Mode. It does not work if I have Notepad running in XP Mode but out of focus. Anyone know of a fix? Thanks a lot

I tried it in XP and expectedly it works (also with unactive window) if notepad's title is something like "Notepad - Notepad". Otherwise it doesn't work even when the window is active.

In XP the title is in format "filename.ext - Notepad" or "Untitled - Notepad" (or equivalent in your language). Is it different in Win7?
