Batch File or similar to run exe silently

[jdunderhill]

Hi there

I am trying to create a batch file that will load an exe and then simulate the click of the ok button on the window that pops up after you launch that exe

Basically the exe is a fix for Mail recipient in office 97 and simply is a program that applies the fix but asks you to select ok before it is applied

I wanted to automate the ok part so it is completely automatic when I log on e.g the batch file will launch the exe and then ok the window that comes up

Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions if this is possible to do?

Cheers

Jamie

What's the exact exe? Have you tried running it from a command prompt with /? to see if there are any command line switches, such as suppressing prompting?

Hi

Cheers for your help, I have managed to make a good working batch file using the sendkey options and utilising a bit of vbscript
