How to create macro to perform series of O/S commands
I need software to make a macro that will do the following: (just perform a
series of mouse clicks...) 1. Start the Windows Zero Configuration service 2. Open "View Available Wireless Networks" - select "Change advanced settings" - select "Wireless Networks" tab - select "Use windows to configure my wireless network settings" I searched (Google) for macro creation software, and only could find AutoHotKey. I followed the instructions of the page suggesting it - Record - do steps - Stop - convert marco to .exe - run -- it all works until I try to run it, it puts an "H" in the bottom corner of the screen by the clock, and just sits there - right clicking give you the option to stop the script, resume, or exit. I immediately uninstalled the software, as it doesn't work. This should be really simple... (I've tried to stop the wi-fi card software from taking over on start up - I am not interested in any help fixing that - I just want a macro to do the key steps to fix it, that's on my desktop so I can double click it when I need it.) |

I had the same problem as you at my work. The wireless connector (Odyssey) disables the native Windows connector, so I could not connect to other WLAN's. I wrote a small scripts that disables the Odyssey service, and then enables the WZC with the "Use Windows to configure..." option set. Let me know if this is an option, and I'll post the script. -- /klaus |

How to create macro to perform series of O/S commands
Been asked already I think, and I suggest you try AutoIt. This is probably the most powerful click/keystroke controller you will find anywhere.

Antivir reports AutoIt is a virus/trojan. (Setacl.exe) I just downloaded AutoIt Script Editor addition to the main program - from http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml (I downloaded the addition to the script editor to try to get the program to like like an example I found of using it.) This may be a false positive. I submitted it to Antivir for analysis. Anyway, this software is much more complicated than it needs to be. I just want to record a couple mouse clicks in a macro. There should be SIMPLE software to do that. |

List all the ways that a window might be modified by the user before the macro starts or while the macro is running, such as being repositioned, stretched, minimized, hidden behind a popup window your virus checker pops up, etc. Then think about how simple it would be for the macro to always click the correct spots in the correct window. It is not so simple. I think AutoIt does a fairly good job, especially considering its (free) price. -Paul Randall |
