You guys are on the ball in here ...
 

Hi All,

I don't know where to post this, and I've gotten lots of help here before.

What I need is to be able to setup a macro that will launch from the
desktop when the icon is double-clicked. The purpose is to allow many users
to access the spot in the printer setup to input their personal code. The
new printer/copier we have is complex, and it's not an easy thing to get to
that setup point.

I would be very happy if someone could point me to a help website or give
me some basics that I can do right here on my Windows XP sp2 machine.

Thanks so much,

--Jim

It can probably be done with a VBScript using Sendkeys.

What are the keystrokes that you use to set it up?

Well, I'm not at that console right now ... but basically it's to go to the
start button, click on printers and faxes, click on the desired printer, go
to it's properties, click on the advanced tab, and then click on the
properties button, and insert the user code.

Sounds like I should read up on VBScript and Sendkeys.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Well I am not sure how you want them, but here is what I need to do;

Click on the start button
click on 'printers and faxes'
click on the desired printer - perhaps this could be a user input
double-click or something
then it would select the 'advanced' tab, and stop here.

The user would then click the user button, input their code, and click ok.

Make sense?

Thanks, --Jim
