How to open an specific window
In the windows XP sp2.
I´m trying to open (or call) an specific window with a shortcut icon place on the desktop. The window is place in "control panel" then "printers and faxes" then "properties" then "ports" and then "configure port", and since the printer is a network printer, it opens a windows call "configure internet port". Here is the thing, I want to change just the printer user name and password, without log off the session. All this trouble, because many users used the same computer, but when they send a file to print, it goes to a print system (Which is on a domain, but the computer is not in the domain) that it charges individually depends on the pages that they sent, so that´s why it very important to change the user. ( check graphic) We have already implemented on windows 2000, but it does not apply the same politics on windows XP. And I guess I found a way to have a similar environment but I can´t find the command that access that particular window. |

I'm guessing you'll have to do some sort of script.

How did you implement this on Win2000 ? I'm surprised that it didn't work on XP.

Use Windows Script Host. You'll have to talk to Nilpo he's writing a tutorial right now.

Thanks for the reference Cody, but this time I don't think you need WSH. You can open most control panel applets directly from the command line. Let me try and narrow down the command-line you need. It will take a little experimenting since this is all undocumented features.
