The popups are 1) a User Access Control (UAC) prompt asking "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device"; 2) a Registry Editor prompt asking "Are you sure you want to continue?" and; 3) a Registry Editor message informing you whether the 'merge' succeeded. This is because just 'run...

I haven't used Avira for a while but the popups were the 'In Product Messaging' process.

Try process, close, ipmgui.exe

Hope this helps...

ROFL... I can't believe I missed SplashTextOn and SplashImage. I'll have a play. Many thanks!

Whilst carrying out a number of consecutive actions, some of which can take some time, I would like the text equivalent of a Progress bar, preferably scrolling upwards so only the previous x no. of results are in view at any one time. For example, amending a new install of Win 10, including removing...

Using Windows 10 Pro 1709 Build 16299.248 (English United Kingdom) it looks and sounds like MS has created confusion. If I right -click on Start , choose Run and enter ms-settings:speech (to get to Speech settings) then, under Text-to-speech , I can see 3 voices - Microsoft George , Microsoft Hazel ...

If you mean PowerShell cmdlets then it's very easy to wrap them in AHK. For example: psScript = ( Stop-Process -ProcessName explorer ) Run PowerShell.exe -Command %psScript%,, hide I use this to refresh the Windows desktop. It's also fairly easy to build queries and redirect output, for example: psS...

Looks like this is a duplicate too, just a different username:

I agree with garry, call netsh directly. For example, to toggle the network adapter using the F1 key, use the following: ;https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15205 adapter:="Local Area Connection" ; set to the adapter name F1:: if(t:=!t) runwait,netsh interface set interface "%adapter%...

I've been playing around with refreshing the desktop and have found that instead of using run, taskkill /f /im explorer.exe,, Hide the following works well because it restarts Explorer automatically: psScript = ( kill -n explorer ) Run PowerShell.exe -Command %psScript%,, hide Alternatively, you can...

If you mean in Windows 10 then it looks like it may depend on what version you are using. The following should work: ; Taskbar - Show/hide Store icon (0=Enable/Show / 1=Disable/Hide) ; Thanks to WindowsITPro.com (see http://windowsitpro.com/active-directory/microsoft-august-updates-secret-new-gpo-se...

Have you tried a search loop through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall ? If the app writes an entry there then it should be easy to find its InstallLocation . Have a look at https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/LoopReg.htm#new for more info/examples. Hope this he...

Code: Select all

{
; Open Action Center
ControlGet, ShellTray, Hwnd,, TrayButton2, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
ControlClick,, ahk_id %ShellTray%
}

Note: You may need to adjust the value for TrayButton. TrayButton2 works for me (whilst TrayButton1 opens Cortana's Search dialog).

Hope this helps...

I’m assuming that means just not to post it though. Does that mean I can still ask considering I’m not going to distribute it to anyone besides him? Asking about how to get an AHK script to run from startup is fine. It was the prank nature and the specifics of your script (e.g. the use of SoundSet ...

Using the statement SetRegView, 64 creates correct results on my system. That's good. It was qwerty12, another forum regular, who first alerted me to this issue when I ran into the exact same problem. More info here: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21292&p=102632#p102632 . Hope th...

Funny how he took it better than you did.. If you genuinely have a concern, why didn't you contact me directly? Also, I'm not an admin, those are in red (such as lexi k os). Whether 'he' took it better is irrelevant IMO. I'm disappointed you now feel the need to criticise me for my opinion. Perhaps...

You've had more help than I believe you're deserving of with your attitude, so I will leave this here. If you decide you'd like to be more receptive to learning, by all means, I thoroughly encourage you to do so; this site has a plethora of content to tantalize your neurons. I'm not sure at all tha...

It looks like one app is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit. I'm going to guess that you're using a 64-bit version of Windows and possibly a 32-bit version of AHK? If so, note the documentation "To read and write entries from the 64-bit sections of the registry in a 32-bit script or vice versa, use SetR...

@qwerty12 - The PowerShell amendment works perfectly.

As you suspected, the WMI variant locked up until the restore point had been created.

However, no matter. I only needed one to work so thank you.
