Controlled "SIGN IN" with constant SCREENNAME

G

Guest

I, of course, sign in to a huge variety of websites on an everyday basis.

I have been fortunate enough to have utilized the SAME screenname for each
and every one of them.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO, SOMEHOW, CREATE A "LOCK", i.e. a copied screenname, and
then, sign in USING, for example, "CTRL V" -- thereby pasting the screenname
onto the webpage??????????

This SCREENNAME would of course exist throughout the day...and NOT vary from
day to day!!!!!

Thank you,

When you say "screenname", do you mean the "user name" you type?

You could do this:
1. Open notepad.exe
2. Enter these lines:
Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ws.sendkeys("%{Tab}")
wscript.sleep(500)
ws.sendkeys("FLKulchar{Enter}")
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).

Now open another notepad session and press Alt+Shift+Z to
test the shortcut.

I did as you say with the following exceptions:

1. I used wordpad.exe...instead of notepad.exe (I do NOT have notepad)

2. I do NOT understand your steps 4. and 5.
How do I "create a shortcut on the desktop that invokes this command:

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

How do I specify a "Shortcut Key" of Alt+Shift+Z (for example)?????

PLEASE RSVP...thank you for everything so far!!

Every standard installation of Windows has notepad.exe. If it is
lost on your machine then you must re-install it. Wordpad is not
suitable for this purpose.

Which part of the shortcut creation is it that you do not understand?
How to specify the target? It's one of the text boxes you see
when you create the shortcut! How to specify the "Shortcut Key"?
It is also one of the boxes you see.

OK

MyName.vbs has been created in NOTEPAD with a desktop shortcut that invokes
the command..."c:\Windows\MyName.vbs

I'd like help now re: Shortcut Key!!!!!!

Thank you for all the help; I know we are almost there.

ONE MORE THING:

When I click on the desktop shortcut, a folder opens up entitled "My
Playlists"...rather than the notepad file which I already created??

Fine. Now look at the properties of the desktop shortcut
you created, then list the name of every field you see there.
I will give you the first two fields:
- Target
- Start in
Please list the rest.

Congratulations! To make an entry in this field, click in
it with your mouse, then press a key combination of
your choice, e.g. Alt+Shift+Z.

The computer assigned a shortcut key of:

CTRL + ALT + Left

Can I change this???

And, when I enter the shortcut key, the bloody thing WORKS!!!!!

I am most impressed...please tell me what you did, or, maybe, you have a job
for me.
In any event, what was is the Notepad document that you established?
Why does it work?

etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,
etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,

Thanks,

Thank you for EVERYTHING..

but..., what, exactly, did we do, other than create a program to use my user
name!!

What kind of program is this, and...

WHY, if I doubleclick on the desktop icon, does my file..."MY Playlists"
open up?

Re: changing the shortcut key...
it seems the first 2 items...(CTRL and ALT) cannot be changed...only the UP
or DOWN, ie the last of the 3 part shortcut.

Please advise..I wish to change this, if possible.

The file "c:\Windows\MyName.vbs" is a VB Script file. It has
the ability to generate key strokes, as if you typed them yourself.

The desktop shortcut you created will invoke the VB Script file,
same as your IE desktop shortcut will invoke Internet Explorer.

The shortcut key you use in the shortcut will invoke that shortcut
directly rather than you having to double-click it with your mouse.

Why, if I click on my VBS file on my desktop, does, at different times,
navigate to various areas (such as, those recently viewed files)??

thanks,

You should not have a VB Script file on your desktop, only
a shortcut. Furthermore, you should not click it directly. It
is designed to work from inside an application such as notepad
or IE where it is invoked with a shortcut key such as Shift+Alt+Z.

OK
I have the VBS shortcut on my desktop only...and, I will not click it
directly.

Thank you,
