wow this is an amazing find. But not vr\ery useful causeit takes long and you can't open each page with tabs (IN IE7 ) Because you have to open command promt and then type in the URL. Straightaway you can click the desktop icon and type but anyway it is amazing to find tis you are a good coder and code finder

Lol or instead of your command prompt stuff to open trap17, just create a shortcut on your desktop and i think you all know how to do that, i fnot... well... lol

Are like command prompt stuff ever used anymore? or are they just there ,because i want to know if that is part of our...........computer, and if we remove like something thats a batch file, will it like....... ruin your computer?

this command will be very useful for the people who distribute precompiled CDs.

You can load the html pages from cd during the CD's autorun by adding this command to a .bat (batch file)

Sure, clicking is the best option if you are just a regular user. But, if you are a programmer trying to automate a process, command line arguments are the only way to go. So don't act like it is so cut and dry and that command line should be done away. Really, that is still the internal workings that you never see because of the pretty candy shell the GUI gives us.

I always work with command prompt what my problem is I have to do my work by seeing the information from my mail.

Iam not able to do these things ata time .If iam using command prompt as and when iam opening my mail the command prompt is not working means it is coming from the server(solaris) which I had connected previously.

So I request anyone of you to tell the solution .Eagerly waiting for your answer

Clicking is for monkeys. various programming applications utilize "command line" functionality, including clicking.

for instance, when writing a batch file to run every time windows logs on to counter-act the bane of my existence (the reset and locking of the homepage on my computer at work) by telling the command line to switch the registry values to allow homepage manipulation, and then open to a specified page, and then Option Explicit

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "iexplore -nohome"
Wscript.Sleep 2000

objShell.SendKeys "TAB 2"

objShell.sendKeys "http://www.google.com"

Wscript.Sleep 500

objShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

Wscript.Sleep 500

objShell.sendKeys "%{HOME}"

wscript.sleep 2000

objShell.sendkeys "%{F4}"

WScript.Quit
yes, sleep too is for monkeys.

This is really a good Idea.In my work environment access to modify Homepage is blocked. I need to wait atleast 1/2 min for loading that Company Homepage then I need to type my other sites. I very freequently use 4 web sites. I have simply created 4 bat files with the start letter of my required sites.. For example to open google immediately I created bat file "G.Bat" and shortcut to destop. I modified the content as

------ @start "" /b "see:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.Exe " %* google.Co.In " ---

Same like for other 3 websites..

You can try this

Hi maxsqueries,

The correct code is below.

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ObjShell.Run "iexplore http://www.Google.Com"

Wscript.Sleep 2000

ObjShell.SendKeys "%{f4}"
