Since you bumped repeatedly, I try to help. 1) The script is perfect. I do have XButton1 and XButton2 on my mouse, and I tested the script by Rohwedder . Perfect. 2) Next step: Either I explain exactly what I did to test, or you explain exactly what you did to test. What do you prefer? Your reply i...

You are asking for two different things. but I'm looking for a script that could easily hide / unhide the taskbar #NoEnv #NoTrayIcon #SingleInstance force DetectHiddenWindows, Off ; Run this script then use WINDOWS KEY + Y to toggle the taskbar #y:: if toggle := !toggle { WinHide ahk_class Shell_Tra...

ShutUp10 is a GUI to the changes made primarily to the registry but also to 'services' and 'scheduled tasks'. It appears to be benign (i.e. I can't see any contra-indications or any 'phone home' functionality) but there's no reason for you not to (re-)create the changes made using AHK, thus staying...

^^^^Anyone know how I can dump all the fields (Manufacturer, model, name, etc.) without listing them out one by one. Example: ;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394068(VS.85).aspx PropertyList := "ProductName,Accesses,Attributes,Caption,Description,IdentifyingNumber," . "InstallDate,Install...

I now understand what I was doing wrong- I was using an apostrophe instead of a backtick-- i honestly didn't understand what I was doing wrong there. I would have picked up on this right away had IMEime expained my error to me instead of merely eluding to it - but I do thank him for his help anyway...

someone pls help me? i am using windows 7 Your first post said the location was a sub-key of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE . It's not in the LOCAL_MACHINE (system-wide) hive. Your second post got the correct hive, HKEY_CURRENT_USER , but indicated the setting was a string ( REG_SZ ). It's not, it's a DWORD va...

Oh. Does Run *runas %comspec% /k "%A_WinDir%\Sysnative\vssadmin.exe" resize shadowstorage /on=c: /for=c: /maxsize=5`% work? YES! It works perfectly! Thank you! I didn't understand the significance of adding Sysnative to the filepath for vssadmin.exe at first but a search showed this is used as a fi...

Run *runas %comspec% /k "%A_WinDir%\System32\vssadmin.exe" resize shadowstorage /on=c: /for=c: /maxsize=5`% works for me over here - if I run vssadmin list shadowstorage in the same command prompt, I get "Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 11.7 GB (5%)". Change the /k to a /c if you want cmd to clo...

[quote="qwerty12"This might work - at least my task manager seems to show a valid-looking command line:

Code: Select all

ToRun := A_WinDir . "\System32\vssadmin.exe resize shadowstorage /on=c: /for=c: /maxsize=10%"
Run % ToRun,, UseErrorLevel

[/quote]

Unfortunately, no... it wasn't successful.

Enable-ComputerRestore hits up WMI to enable System Protection for the given drive. You can do the same in AutoHotkey with just a single line and avoid the PowerShell overhead: ComObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:SystemRestore").Enable("C:\") Thank you... that work...

RickC

Escape the % with a backtick: psScript = ( Enable-ComputerRestore -drive "C:\" vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=c: /for=c: /maxsize=10`% ) HTH My apologies, I should have mentioned that I had already tried escaping the % sign using a backtick, only to get a different error of "This parameter conta...

There are times when PowerShell can do 'stuff' that AHK can't (or not easily) and I've successfully wrapped PowerShell code in AHK many times before. However, I've run into a problem which, on the face of it, should be very easy but I just can't understand why it's not working. Background: Windows 1...

Thank you Ovg for the explanation; thank you jNizM for the MSDN link and revised example... it was all very helpful.

RickC

Hmmm... I've just seen Ovg's last post and changed the DllCall in line 8 as follows: MsgBox % GetBinaryType("C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkeyU64.exe") ; Shows as 32BIT MsgBox % GetBinaryType("C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe") ; Shows as 32BIT MsgBox % GetBinaryType("C:\This\is a\fictitio...

I'm using AHK 1.1.24.4 in Windows 7 Pro x64 and I'm a bit confused. In the code below, both of the first two supposedly 64-bit exes show as 32-bit and I don't understand why. I thought at first that it was because I have the 32-bit Unicode version of AHK installed. To test this I installed the 64-bi...

RickC

mrdon - jNizM's code includes a reference to #Include ping4.ahk on line 7.

You can download ping4.ahk from the first post here: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic ... .ahk#p4652

Hope this helps...

1. Look at Clipboard and ClipboardAll in the docs. ( https://autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Clipboard.htm ) 2.

RickC

Did you check the documentation at all? For example, Send (and the info further down the page for Repeating or Holding Down a Key)? Or did you expect to make no effort at all and have someone write the script for you?

Not like you are. I just tend to wrap PowerShell one-liners in AHK when there's no pure/easy AHK equivalent... and I do tend to hide the PowerShell console and pipe the results to a file.
