Hey guys

i just wanted to as if authotkey is capable of setting, specified wallpaper, change the screen resolution to 1280 x 1024 and change the desktop theme to for example Window Xp - Blue (default)... all through commands ....

becuase here at my school we have xp but default wallpaper is blank, defualt theme is windows 98 classic, and screen resolution is huge... so everytime i log in i just want to be able to run a script that changes all of these for me.. if u understand what im trying to say?


Thanks for everyone who spent time reading my essay lol

You should use the search tool:
Change the wallpaper, change the screen resolution.
To change the windows theme, you have two choices: either do it the cheapo way, which means that you make your script open display properties, select the combobox. select the new theme by pressing up/down, and press the OK button. Or you can use APIs. For that, I think you'll have to look into SetWindowTheme().
