I enter my email address and password to several browsers multiple times a day.

Is

there some way to set up a 'hot' key that can be used in my Windows 2000

operating system to make that job easier? I generally use Internet Explorer

and

Netscape. Will these browsers recognize a hot key from the operating system?

Try this:

1. Open notepad.exe

2. Enter these lines:

Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

ws.sendkeys("%{Tab}")

wscript.sleep(500)

ws.sendkeys("John Doe{Tab}MyPassword")

3. Save the file as "c:\Windows\MyName.vbs"

4. Create a shortcut on the desktop that invokes "c:\Windows\MyName.vbs".

5. Specify a "Shortcut Key" of Alt+Shift+Z (for example).

6. Open notepad.exe.

7. Press Alt+Shift+Z. You should now see "John Doe" on the screen.

8. Keep a note in a safe place of this procedure so that you remember

one year from now how to modify the name/password.

 

Note this:

- Having your password in a text file is an obvious security risk.

- If you wish to delete the desktop shortcut then you must first

cancel the shortcut key. If you don't then you will have a rare

time later on.

Slight modification to my previous reply. Here it is again:

1. Open notepad.exe

2. Enter these lines:

Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

ws.sendkeys("%{Tab}")

wscript.sleep(500)

ws.sendkeys("John Doe{Tab}MyPassword")

3. Save the file as "c:\Windows\MyName.vbs"

4. Create a shortcut on the desktop that invokes this command:

cscript //nologo c:\Windows\MyName.vbs.

5. Specify a "Shortcut Key" of Alt+Shift+Z (for example).

6. Open notepad.exe.

7. Press Alt+Shift+Z. You should now see "John Doe" on the screen.

8. Keep a note in a safe place of this procedure so that you remember

one year from now how to modify the name/password.

Sounds like a somewhat risky thing to do, but I guess you can make your

own decision on that.

Re: Hot key needed

 

Thanks for the two replies.

 

I spoke to Comcast today about problems using 'AutoComplete' features to sign on

to my email with them. They claim it is a Microsoft issue. I tried setting the

Auto-

complete option from the Internet Explorer toolbar using tools ->internet options

->content ->AutoComplete, setting AutoComplete on for all options, including 'User

names and passwords on forms'. I also have a similar problem signing on to

Netscape and several other sites I have that require name and passwords. Any idea

as to why my AutoComplete feature cannot work?

Pegasus,

 

I'm not sure how one implements items 4 and 5. To execute this in practice,

does

one have to run notepad.exe each time as noted in item 6? If so, that seems

cumbersome.

Get onto Google and type in these words:

 

Create a shortcut in Windows

 

Step 6 is purely for testing your handiwork.

It is not working. I'm not sure where to insert the command:

 

cscript //nologo c:\Windows\MyName.vbs

 

My shortcut looks like this:

 

Target: C:\windows\sherwin.vbs

 

Start In: C:\windows

 

Shortcut Key: Ctrl + Alt + Z

 

Run: Minimized

 

My script file looks like this in the c:\Windows directory:

 

Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

ws.sendkeys("%{Tab}")

wscript.sleep(500)

ws.sendkeys("sherwindu@comcast.net{Tab}pswd")

 

 

If I now go into my browser and point at the password box and double

click on the shortcut, it skips over this box, but puts the password into

the password box (some signs of life?). Also, I cannot invoke it to do

anything with the Ctrl + Alt + Z keys.

Pegasus,

 

Just a reminder about line 3...

"3. Save the file as "c:\Windows\MyName.vbs"

 

Be sure in Notepad you choose All Files in the Save as Type or it will

default to a .txt file and will not work.

 

 

All the best,

Re: Reposting as Autocomplete problem

 

Sherwin,

 

I had a similar problem with Gmail. If I only put in username then my

password it would not remember this. However by putting in

username@gmail.com then my password then selecting "Remember me on this

computer" it work and now when I login all I have to do is type the first

letter of my email account and click Sign in.

 

All the best,

SG

I always type in my full email address or Usnet through Comcast won''t accept

anything else. My sign on to Internet Explorer 6.0 was working with

Autocomplete

up until a few weeks ago. At that time, Internet Explorer came out with a new

user interface, and I suspect it somehow clobered the Autocomplete. I have

always

had trouble with other web sites. Some worked, and some didn't. If this is an

issue with Windows 2000, it should be consistent across all web sites.

The script file is indeed a VBScript file type. That is not the problem.

Re: Hot key needed

 

OK, Pegasus. I just spent over 2 hours looking for a method of calling a

command

from the desktop without any success. Also, how do I store this command on my

hard drive, and as what type? If I store it properly, I assume I can just set

up a

shortcut to it. If this solution involves VB scripting, I don't know this

technology,

so I'm fumbling in the dark.

Let's look at the principles of what we're trying to do here.

I will start with the script file on a line by line basis.

 

* Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

(This is a VB Script declaration. You must leave it as it is.)

* ws.sendkeys("%{Tab}")

(This instruction issues an Alt+Tab keystroke. It ensures

that the focus moves from the VB Script process to your

notepad or to your IE process.)

* wscript.sleep(500)

(This instuction causes the script to pause for half a second

so that the screen switching has time to settle down. If your

machine is slow then you should increase the delay to

maybe 2000.)

* ws.sendkeys("John Doe{Tab}MyPassword")

(This instruction sends your name, a tab and your password.

You could modify it like so:

ws.sendkeys("John Doe{Tab}MyPassword{Enter}")

 

You should now test the whole thing one step at a time.

 

Test 1

=====

- Click Start / Run / cmd {Enter}

- Type this command:

notepad c:\test.vbs{Enter}

Enter these four lines VERBATIM!

Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

wscript.echo "Running Test #1"

wscript.sleep(500)

ws.sendkeys("John Doe{Tab}MyPassword")

Save and close the file.

- Type this command:

cscript //nologo c:\test.vbs{Enter}

- Report what you see.

 

After successfully completing this test, we can proceed to Test 2.

OK. I see the following in the DOS Window after typing the cscript command:

 

Running Test #1

C:\Documents and Settings\sherwin dubren>John Doe MyPassword

 

This much appears to be working. As I stated previously, I saw the same thing

when I double clicked on the shortcut I created. My problem remains how to

invoke the cscript command with the hot keys. I modified the shortcut to use

the hot keys, but that didn't work.

Seeing the confusion we had before, I'm not going to skip any

steps, even though they may be unnecessary.

 

Test 2

=====

- Click Start / Run / notepad.exe c:\test.vbs {OK}

- Enter these five lines VERBATIM!

 

Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

wscript.echo "Running Test #2"

ws.sendkeys("%{Tab}")

wscript.sleep(1000)

ws.sendkeys("John Doe{Tab}MyPassword")

 

- Save and close the file.

- Create a new shortcut on your desktop. Type this line into

the "Target" field:

cscript.exe //nologo c:\test.vbs

- Copy the new shortcut into the Quick-Launch bar.

- Click Start / Run notpad.exe {OK}

- Click the new shortcut in the Quick-Launchh bar.

- Report what you see

I agree with your first point: The shortcut field is called

"Location of the item" when you create it and "Target"

when you subsequently inspect the properties of the

shortcut.

 

Why your logon name does not appear in the notepad

field I do not know. I can think of two reasons:

- The key combination Alt+Tab is disabled on your machine, or

- You omitted or mistyped the line of code that generates

his keystroke. It should be: ws.sendkeys("%{Tab}")

It is best to copy and paste this line rather than retyping

it, to avoid mistakes.

 

Since I cannot see what you did, I am unable to assist you

further. I can see three options for you, listed in order of preference:

- You drop the idea.

- You become familiar with AutoIT (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/autoit)

or with Keyboard Express (http://www.keyboardexpress.com/ )

as suggested by Sid Elbow.

- You let me have a look at your machine by remote access.

If you're interested in finding out more about the third option,

drop me a line (pegasus_fnlATyahooDOTcom) within 24 hours.

I still feel that I was very close to getting this thing to work. The only

stumbling

block for me was how to create a shortcut that invokes the command

"cscript //nologo c:\Windows\MyName.vbs". Shortcuts can point to files on

your

disc, but how can they invoke commands?

 

I will continue to study this problem, as it has become somewhat of an

obsession

for me. I'll let you know if I make any discoveries.

 

Thanks,

Re: Hot key needed

 

 

 

Pegasus,

 

I have assumed that all this discussion pertains to Windows 2000, plus I

mentioned

that is my operating system, up front. In checking on "cscript", it appears to

be a

Windows XP tool. Can I expect it to work in Windows 2000?

Re: Hot key needed

 

Sherwin,

 

I tried it here and it works fine but you have to have Notepad open.

 

In Notepad I copied the following......

 

Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

ws.sendkeys("%{Tab}")

wscript.sleep(500)

ws.sendkeys("John Doe{Tab}MyPassword")

 

I saved it as MyName.vbs in my Windows Folder.

 

I then right click on my Desktop and select New Shortcut.

In the "Type the location of the item" I select the Browse button.

I point that to the Windows folder, find and click on the \MyName.vbs and

then click Next. I left the default name for the shortcut as \MyName.vbs

 

I then right click my new shortcut and select Properties.

In the Target I pasted the following...

%windir%\system32\cscript.exe //nologo c:\Windows\MyName.vbs

 

Start in: %windir%

 

In the Shortcut key: place your curser in that field and press Shift then

Alt then Z and select Apply or OK.

 

Open Notepad then double click your new shortcut. You will briefly see a Dos

window and then your name password will appear in Notepad.

 

All the best,

SG

I tested it both on my WinXP and Win2000 PCs. If cscript.exe is

present then the script will work. Remember that you used cscript.exe

in Test #1?

Hi,

 

Yes, I have been able to get similar results. However, the whole purpose of

this exercise

is to get the keyboard keys to kick off the script, and that ain't

happening. I'm having

doubts that Pegasus was ever able to get this to work.

Please do not insult me. Any script I write is fully tested, and I

mentioned that it worked both under Win2000 and WinXP.

Furthermore there happens to be a similar thread titled

'Controlled "SIGN IN" with constant SCREENNAME'

in Microsoft.public.windowsxp.general that dealt with exactly

the same question. That poster got it to work immediately

after he understood the general principles.

 

You also appear to overlook that it worked for SG too.

 

The problem is on your own machine and I suspect a simple

typographical error.
