No-Sp #1 / 6	Trying to use SendKeys() to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del Hello: I'm trying to use SendKeys() to hit Control-Alt-Delete, but I can't get it to work. I've tried a number of variations on the following, but with no success-- any suggestions? Thanks! Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshShell.SendKeys("^(%{DEL})")

No-Sp #4 / 6	Trying to use SendKeys() to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del There's not a single word at the URL you referenced about how Ctrl-Alt-Del is specifically ignored -- it's not there now, and it wasn't there when I read the documentation before posting the question to this newsgroup. Quote: >When you encounter a problem with a object/property/method, it often helps to refer back to its >documentation. This can sometimes save you a lot of frustrating minutes or hours trying to do >something that can't be done. For example, take the SendKeys documentation. It clearly states that >the system ignores the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination. >http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/windowshost/doc/wsMthSendKeys.htm >\| Hello: >\| I'm trying to use SendKeys() to hit Control-Alt-Delete, but I can't >\| get it to work.

jim_ #5 / 6	Trying to use SendKeys() to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del hi no-spam, Why do you want to ctrl-alt-del? AFAIK, there could be only two reasons: - you want to shut down, or... - you want to terminate a misbehaving app. You can do both of those from script. There have been countless examples of how to shutdown or restart posted in the wsh+vbs newsgroups. You can search the archives with deja or google. In addition, there have been countless examples of how to terminate an app. Sendkeys alt-F4 usually works, as does the wmi process.terminate method. cheers, jw Quote: > Hello: > I'm trying to use SendKeys() to hit Control-Alt-Delete, but I can't > get it to work.

No-Sp #6 / 6	Trying to use SendKeys() to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del Thanks, but it was to do a "Lock Computer" without using RunDLL32.exe like in the following: Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshShell.Run "RunDll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation" Also, I wanted to experiment with a Group Policy startup script that would hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, logon, etc. and see if it would actually work. I know about the auto-logon registry feature that does the same thing, but I thought it would be interesting to see about this for fun.... Thanks Anyway!
