mls15000 Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I need to create a shortcut to the Change Computer Name applet in XP. I have found this, "control.exe sysdm.cpl,,1 -1", will open the system propereties and computer name tab, but I want to open the Change Computer Name applet directly. Anybody know the command to do this?
Doc Symbiosis Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Don't know a shortcut, but you could use the following AutoIT scriptRun("control sysdm.cpl,,1 -1")WinWaitActive("System Properties")Send("!c")Unfortunately it only runs on english versions.

mls15000 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 I have scripts to rename the computer to a three letter site code and serial number and then join the machine to the domain that work fine. I need this to pop up on machines that get reimaged. The scriptwii fail if the machine account already exixts in the domain, but if I do it manually it joins fine.
