profiles/hotkeys/Vista - found a solution Options

[MJFox]

Hi!

Since there is no nview for Vista (and probably will never be ) I found a workaround for switching profiles with hotkeys that works quite well for me.

First, download AutoIt from here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

Then create a new AutoIt-script. Mine looks like this:

CODE

Run("nvcplui.exe")
WinWaitActive("NVIDIA Control Panel")
Sleep(1500)
Send("!p")
Send("l")
WinWaitActive("Load Desktop Profile")
Sleep(100)
ControlClick("Load Desktop Profile", "FolderView", 1, "left", 2, 65, 52)
Send("{ENTER}")
WinWaitActive("NVIDIA Systemsteuerung")
Sleep(100)
Send("j")
WinWaitActive("Änderungen übernehmen")
Sleep(100)
Send("j")
WinWaitActive("NVIDIA Control Panel")
Sleep(100)
WinClose("NVIDIA Control Panel")

Note that you probably need to change the strings like "Load Desktop Profile" or "NVIDIA Systemsteuerung" according to your OS language (these are the titles of the windows that open up). Also you need to adjust the coordinates (the last two parameters) in the ControlClick-Command. They are pointing to the entry in the file list. Just use the "AutoIt Window Info" (provided with AutoIt) to find them out.

Finally create a shortcut to the script, place in on the desktop and assign a hotkey to it - that's all.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Hope it helps.
