I am completely unable to get Macro Recorder to work at all, even with the simplest of test procedures, namely open Notepad and then immediately close it (without entering any text). Here is my procedure: 1. Open Macro Scheduler and press "Record". 2. Enter a macro name, "Test". 3. Set the stop hotk...

At login I want to have Macro Scheduler (a) run a script and (b) stay installed so that hotkeys assigned to macros are still active (specifically hotkeys to send keystrokes to the active window) for the remainder of my login session. How do I do this? If I just have "Macro Scheduler" in my Startup f...

Well, no, it doesn't help. You must have missed my statement in the original post that "the same thing happens with any folder". The string "ATI" was just an example. It is the presence of the wildcard (*) appended to ANY folder string that causes the problem, not what the particular folder string h...

The following script smashes & freezes my system tray and taskbar, and the only fix is to logout/login. In some cases the process msched.exe has to be manually stopped before logout is possible. The script closes a Windows Explorer window open to the folder "C:\Program Files\ATI", in which case Wind...

Problem solved, sort of. On a hunch I did a complete uninstall (using Total Uninstall) and then a complete fresh install of Macro Scheduler. That fixed the problem with Change Directory. My original installation was the trial version overwritten with the licensed downloaded version. The new fresh in...

The freeware "AutoHotKey" allows use of this key. I find it very handy to use this key because it is rarely (never?) used by most applications and therefore the likelihood of conflicts is very low.

The last script you sent me also works. In fact, I broke it into two separate scripts, one to create the file and one to delete it, and they work just fine also. I then had a hunch that it was not the DeleteFile function but rather the Change Directory one, and indeed that is the case. If I simply p...

The second suggested script, namely:
works fine also.

That script works. In fact, I accidentally discovered that the "RP_WAIT=1" is not necessary. Test.log was created by notepad in the same login session that the script tests were made, and notepad was closed after creating the file and before running the script. In fact, for other reasons, I have als...

I've done some more tests and the DeleteFile simply will not work. I've created test files and the script, both with limited user rights (my regular situation) and with administrator rights, and in no situation does it work. CopyFile works fine, but, as might be expected, RenameFile does not work ei...

Windows XP Pro SP2 & all latest updates I created test.log with Notepad and the script with Macro Scheduler all from the same account without logging out at any time. Why would there be any access rights problems... ...unless (I hate to think) Macro Scheduler must have administrator rights to delete...

I cannot get the command DeleteFile to work. I've tried it with a simple 2-line test script, one to Change Directory and one to delete the file. I've checked permissions and they are ok. I can delete the file just fine from a file manager. The test script is: Change Directory>D:\Steve\Logs DeleteFil...
