Hey all...
I have a script that opens a new window in chrome and then closes it with the use of a button. Problem is, is that you get this google didn't shut down properly and asks to restore the windows. I have searched on this but haven't found anything. I have temporarily used the mouse to move to the X and exit that popup, but would like to know if there is a way to do so without having to automate the mouse to the X position? Thank you!

I don't mind, but the script is not the cause, it's when you stop the process while the browser is still open... next time you go back to the browser, then it pops up a box that says it did not close properly and would you like to restore the page. There must b a work around this? Thank you.

If you want to avoid such Chrome's error window, after browser crashed last time, I've heard it's impossible to disable this error. But you of course can close it via AHK.
I'm not sure if "Restore pages?" is window's title or just a text, so try one of this:
Code: Select all
loop
{
WinClose % "Restore pages? ahk_exe chrome.exe ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1" ;if "Restore pages?" is title
Sleep 100
}
Code: Select all
loop
{
WinClose % "ahk_exe chrome.exe ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1", % "Restore pages?" ;if "Restore pages?" is text
Sleep 100
}
And maybe also there's a way to prevent such windows.

Thanks for the post. I tried both and no go.
Appreciate you taking the time.... But you did give me an idea to see if there's something on that window the Spy might find to work with. I'll let you know.

Okay, I found a work around that does the trick. Finally got rid of that thing.
Make sure you close google and its processes. It worked like a charm.
Edit the file located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Right click "Preference" file and click edit. ctrl+f to find the following values, and change the value to:
"exit_type": "none",
"exited_cleanly":true,
Save the file, and change the attribute to "read only" so chrome can't change it back.

Thank you... It has been working well. I open a lot of windows usually and sometimes I just end the process through my admin program I made... so when you just end the process all the time, you get that irritating popup from google. It works well and thank you... I'm glad I figured it out too. Blessings!
