Isn't it winwaitactive?

[MCT]

it maybe, but i dont know the exact name of the window.. depending what the homepage is set 2..

i want it so, when ever my dad launches IE it will launch opera lol

im tired of cleaning spyware from his crappy pc

IF ProcessExists ( "IEXPLORE.exe" ) Then
ProcessClose("IEXPLORE.exe")
$var = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Opera Software", "Last Beta Directory")
Run($var & "\Opera.exe")
endif

this works, but i dont know how 2 make it loop

Oh.. You mean you want it to run at the background so everytime iexplore opens, it will close it?

[MCT]

yes

Question: For example, there is a window named MSFN -> Editing Post Autoit Questions - Mozilla Firefox

WinClose ("MSFN") will still close it, right?

Opt ('TrayIconHide', 1)

While 1
	Sleep ( 250 )
	IF ProcessExists ( "IEXPLORE.exe" ) Then
  ProcessClose("IEXPLORE.exe")
  $var = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Opera Software", "Last Beta Directory")
   Run($var & "\Opera.exe")
	EndIf
WEnd

MsgBox ( 0, "title", "text1" & @LF & "text2" , 60 )

doh first code would spawn the hell out of Opera

k, ive found a way around that prob

ill do like u said, then just use Run("redirect.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)

how do i use @LF tho?

[MCT]

FileCopy("Redirect.exe", @WindowsDir & "\redirect.exe")
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "Redir", "REG_SZ", @WindowsDir & "\Redirect.exe")

IF WinWaitActive("Microsoft Internet Explorer")  Then
ProcessClose("IEXPLORE.exe")
$var = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Opera Software", "Last Beta Directory")
Run($var & "\Opera.exe")
Run(@WindowsDir & "\redirect.exe" @SW_HIDE)
endif

this copies the file to windows directory & adds reg entries 2 auto start it everytime the exe is executed (will Only work if u compile the script & name the .exe to redirect.exe)

im happy with it, thanks all 4 your help

& ive found winwaitactive to work better

plz every1 try it, i wanna know if theres any ways 2 get around this or any bugs in it? (only way im aware of 2 get around it is if u rename the title window of ie & my dad certainly doesnt know how 2 do that )

EDIT: just seen nologic's post

LOL

well I just changed a bit of the code you showed before....I actually didn't test it against Opera....I just said that....I used Notepad since I dont' have Opera installed....and what was originally in that post of mine...made a very ugly mess.

Any ways just launch it from the registery to keep it hidden from the old man.
