Need marco to start "Windows Zero Configuration" service

R

Robert

I need software to make a macro that will do the following: (just perform a
series of mouse clicks...)
1. Start the Windows Zero Configuration service
2. Open "View Available Wireless Networks" -> select "Change advanced
settings" -> select "Wireless Networks" tab -> select "Use windows to
configure my wireless network settings"

I searched (Google) for macro creation software, and only could find
AutoHotKey. I followed the instructions of the page suggesting it - Record
-> do steps -> Stop -> convert marco to .exe -> run -- it all works until I
try to run it, it puts an "H" in the bottom corner of the screen by the
clock, and just sits there - right clicking gives you the option to stop the
script, resume, or exit. I immediately uninstalled the software, as it
doesn't work. This should be really simple...

(I've tried to prevent the wi-fi card software from taking over on start up
- I am not interested in any help fixing that - so don't bother reply to that
- I just want a macro to do the key steps to fix it, that's on my desktop so
I can double click it when I need it.)

Thanks for any help.

Hi
It does not matter whether you start the Wireless Service if the "wi-fi
card software" runs in the back ground you would not have a functional
Wireless connection.

The procedure I described works until the computer is rebooted. How
do I make a macro to do the procedure (record a few mouse clicks)?

You might have more success with AutoIt, which is a programming language in
its own right as well as being able to send control-messages to processes..

http://autoitscript.com

Antivir reports AutoIt is a virus/trojan. (Setacl.exe)
I just downloaded AutoIt Script Editor addition to the main program -
from http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml
(I downloaded the addition to the script editor to try to get the
program to like like an example I found of using it.)

This may be a false positive. I submitted it to Antivir for
analysis.

Anyway, this software is much more complicated than it needs to be. I
just want to record a couple mouse clicks in a macro. There should be
SIMPLE software to do that.
