Memberre: bob001 - I had the same problem. Then I realized that even if I hit the close button on the window and it went away, the tray icon was still there. Right click on the tray icon to fully close the window, then run the Activate and re-launch the program. Hope it works for you, it did for me!

I'm trying to get Ad-Aware to start. I can get the program to open but need some assistance on how to get get Robotask to click on the Start button. Actually I figured out the mouse click, but I can't get Robo to recognize or highlight the Start button. Any suggestions for what must be a rather basic task.
Thanks!Posted 18 years ago # -
I got Robotask to open the Start Menu by using keystrokes instead of the mouse. Pressing Ctrl+Esc will open the start menu. Add a Send Keystrokes action, then in the Keys text box put ^{ESCAPE}
That should open the start menu for you.
Alternatively, you can open Ad-Aware by simply using the Run Program action in the General section. That should be a much simpler script.

MemberMy earlier post was not very clear - I can get the program to open (main window appears) but can not get to the next step. Manually, I would normally push the "Start" button (not Windows Start, Ad-Aware Start) but I can't figure out how to tell Robotask to push the "Start" button.
Thanks again. Happy New Year!Posted 18 years ago # -
Oops, my mistake.
I've gotten Ad-Aware to run and automatically start scanning. Here's how I did it.
1. Have it run Ad-Aware
2. Add a delay. It takes Ad-aware about 7 seconds to start up (for me) so I had mine delay about that long.
3. Have it press Tab five times, and space once. ( {TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB} ) Make sure you get the space at the end.
4. Add another delay to let it load the scanning window. I have it delayed for one second
5. Have it press space once.Once this is done, everything should work out. Here's a screenshot of the script.

If Internet Explorer is your default browser then simply use the Run Program or Document action and run http://mail.google.com

If you have a different default browser, but want to open it in Internet Explorer, there's a similar method.
Use the Run Program or Document action to run Internet Explorer (usually at C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe) and run with the paramater http://mail.google.com
