Script to emulate specific key presses needed

Hello all,

I appreciate this is a big ask, but I have absolutely 0 clues what I'm doing!

I need a simple batch or VBS script that will wait 20 seconds after login and then virtually press and hold the Win Key and then the Numpad 5 key.

I have an AutoHotKey script that requires me to press Win+[NP]5 to apply its settings, but I'd much rather have it just apply automatically at login (once the AHK script has loaded - hence the 20-second wait).

Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated!

Hoping we've got some master coders in here!

Thank you.

[QUOTE=dalchina;1426977]If you have a AHK script, why not modify that? (I'm assuming you have the source code- the script- a xxxx.ahk file (which you can open in Notepad e.g.) rather than a xxxx.exe compiled from a xxxx.ahk file).

Hi there,

Thanks for this. Do you, by chance, know what code I would need to write?

FYI, here's the full AHK script:

Hoping you can help!

Hi again,

The AHK file is modigying the Digital Vibrance Settings in the Nvidia Control Panel.

Win+5 specifically is setting it to 50 (/100).

As requested, I've included the file.

Thank you.

I think you got the script here:
https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewto...=5508&start=40

I can give you a script that will send the key sequence to it tomorrow. How you launch that (2 lines) is then up to you.

I could guess how to modify the existing script to simply do that function without the keys, but to be honest, I don't understand it well enough. I understand its structure, rather than what it does, but I wouldn't test it myself.

That would be great, thank you.

i'll put this in a separate post to clearly distinguish it.

Here i've added a bit to the script which may work - try it.
This is meant to do the same as pressing win key + numpad clear - when the script is run.

If it works, no need to mess around sending key sequences to a script.

You could always post in the autohotkey forum to ask about this.

brilliant, thank you!!!
