To run My computer, you can use-

run, explorer /select`, c:\

or

send, #e

edit:
added escape character

Hi,

thanks for the answers, but I also want to show up "My Computer" where I get the Listing of all Drives etc.

You mean like this?

run, explorer.exe /e`, /select`, c:\

edit:
sorry, forgot an escape character in my first post

You can extend this even further by appending the name of the applet file so that it directly open whatever applets you wish. For example,

Now does anyone know what's a quick way to get it to go to a certain tab?

Eg. Display Properties > Settings Tab??

[jonny]

If you need a shortcut to some specific tab of any control panel item, the shortcut should go to C:\Windows\Control.exe, or just enter "control" (space), then the name of the .cpl file (comma), name of the control panel item (in your language version, comma), number of the tab you want (front one = 0). For instance, for the listing of your hardware, try this:
control Sysdm.cpl,System,1
Also, there's a couple of items controlled by just one .cpl, main.cpl. For these, make it say:

control main.cpl @X

Replace the @X with:

* @0 for the mouse properties item;
* @1 for the keyboard properties item;
* @2 for the printers item;
* @3 for the fonts item.

Oh btw, check out this page.

Tried this from command line & worked perfectly...as long as System Properties is not already open....

control Sysdm.cpl,System,1

...but this would not work from AutoHotKey?

#s:: Run, control Sysdm.cpl,System,1 nor
#s:: Run, control Sysdm.cpl, System, 1

Although this did:

#s:: Run, control Sysdm.cpl

[jonny]

That's because the comma is the parameter delimiter in AutoHotkey, as well as for that particular command. Sorry, that text was cut-and-paste. Try escaping them.

[RazorM]

Hi Johnny,

Not sure what you mean by escaping them?

Tried this...but no go....

#s:: Run, control Sysdm.cpl System 1

Isn't there also a way to use the Control function to do this also?

Control, Cmd [, Value, Control, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText]

It seems like something to use in combo w/ the "Window Spy" but I haven't quite figured it out yet....eg. how can i make autoHotKey "push" a button in a window? or select a value in a ValueList?

The Help example isn't helping me decipher it, so anyone has other examples/links, that would be helpful thanks.
