I would like to automate a task at night however I need to be loged in for the script to work. My security policy forces my screen to lock atfter 7 min. I would like to use MouseTamer to log in and run the rest of its script then log off. I've been successful at running the script while the screen is locked however, all that is accomplished is the mouse moving around in the locked screen. Any help would be apriciated. Thanks!

My thinking is that if there is a screensaver, you might need some mouse or keyboard event to break out of it before you do anything else. Another thing to consider is if the field you type your password into is active as soon as you hit ctrl+alt+del. If it's not, maybe when you do the sendkeys, it's not sending them to the password field. You could force a click in the location of the password field before sending the password. Please keep us updated on your progress, it sounds like a cool use of the program! -------------------- -- Brad Ishida Programming Art, LLC http://www.programmingart.com Post Extras:       JCS Novice Reged: 04/13/05 Posts: 2 Re: SENDKEYS,Alt+Ctrl+Del,BEnter,p,a,s,s,w,o,r,d       #553 - 04/18/05 01:25 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Great suggestion however it doesn't quite work. Using sendkeys doesn't send the Ctrl+Alt+Del command to windows. I've also found that Ctrl+Shift+Esc and PrtScn commands are not sent to windows though sendkeys. I’m assuming that many other windows hotkeys will not work using sendkeys. Is there an update to v2.0 or a v3 to be released any time soon that will cover these issues? MT is a powerful program for basic mouse scripts; I would consider purchasing the program if it had a few more features. Another issue I’ve dealt with is editing script steps. After editing a script step you are moved to the bottom of your scripts. This can be hindering when working with large scripts. Editing scripts is also difficult using MT, the sendkeys text box lets you view two lines of text before scrolling. You are able to make the window bigger however the text box doesn’t resize. I’ve had more success editing the .mtm file using notepad. Other more robust scripting programs seem to be the way to go for advanced automation solutions. Post Extras:       Pages: 1
