[MrOrbil]

[elisha054]

@MrOrbil Details?

[alexaudiv8]

@elisha054 Error:Expected end of statement Code:800A0401

What should i do?

[cypress765]

do u know the code to open up another file every 5 seconds until a system restart?

[elisha054]

@cypress765

You could make a simple loop with a timer...

[TeamAfterShokk]

@cypress765 Above what you wanna loop type do: then below it type :loop

[jazzaman100]

it didn't work

[911NinjaCat]

@jazzaman100 he had it zoomed in too far in and that messed-up the text. So here's what you type and how you type it :

set WSHShell = Wscript.create Object("WScript. Shell")

WSHShell.Run "any program.exe"

[stamosgang]

ty a lot friend ;)

[stamosgang]

hey ive made the popular mystring=(80000000) script and i want to AUTOexecute it every 20 minutes.Do u know anything about this?

[elisha054]

@stamosgang Make a loop and that will open that script every 20 minutes wscript.sleep(1200000)

[DobsBomber]

Can't open calculator.  Any advice/ideas why?

[elisha054]

@DobsBomber

try

calc.exe instead....

[DobsBomber]

@elisha054 Acually, I got it.  Its just calc. Thanks anyway though.

[frsn98]

how do i shut down a notepad and save it

[elisha054]

@frsn98 You could send keys...

First alt+F4 Then Enter to save.

(watch send keys video)

[etoangfavoriteko]

This is with a dialog box:

x=msgbox("To open xxxx, Click Yes.",4,"")

if x=6 then

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")

WSHShell.Run "xxxx.exe"

End if

[elisha054]

@etoangfavoriteko

And?

[alkalurobs]

it doesnt work

[chickenguy1000]

@elisha054 actully i maked a input box. x=inputbox("what program u wanna open?")

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.­Shell")

WSHShell.Run "" & x

[TheAlphaTutorials]

At last it works,thanks ! :D

[TheAlphaTutorials]

It doesn't work

[elisha054]

@TheAlphaTutorials

As in?...

[chickenguy1000]

@elisha054 like: open"firefox"

[elisha054]

@chickenguy1000

if you really want you could make a input box its a little complicated...

[chickenguy1000]

it would be eysier if u just could type open or somethin..

[elisha054]

@chickenguy1000

what do you mean?

[elisha054]

@BeefyHaze if you want!

[benschierywashere]

will telnet work on vista?

[elisha054]

i think so chekc!

[moosemanty]

you have to enable it usualy...it's easy, just look online to find a guide.

[Coi1221]

its only opening programs out of 'system32' folder, the same like Start -> Run. So only 'notepad.exe', 'cmd.exe', or whatever these programs will work

[RD199912345]

why do i always see u comment on stuff like this like u said people stole your video like 50 times

[elisha054]

so idk

[elisha054]

make sure u r typing everything right

[elisha054]

yes just chang the .exe to .wma

[ninggy369bhagwandin]

set a = createobject("wscript.shell")

a.run "firefox.exe"

just use a

its easier to type

[rich4life312]

Why can't you just make a shortcut?

[elisha054]

because if you watch all my videos you will see that you can make cool stuff with this

[cheosxtothe]

eh when i start it i get this:

windows script host

script: c:\usersblablablashit not important

sentence: 1

Sign: 15

Error: syntaxerror

Code: 800A03EA

source: Compilatieerror microsoft VBScript

(i translated the dutch error into englisch so some things may not be right..)

help plz

[elisha054]

make sure that you copied it word by word

[elisha054]

you copied word by word?

compare to video.

[IDOG321]

me?

[Mdroudian]

cheosxtothe:

Try.. As an example launching yahoo messenger.

Dim wshShell

Set wshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

wshShell.Run("""C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Yahoome­ssenger.exe""")

Just tripe quote the path.

[phroggyy]

that just mean the the 15th ltr at the first row(not sentence) is wrong, the computer expects some other sign.

[elisha054]

copy the code word by word!

[dragondragondragond]

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.­Shell") on first line

WSHShell.Run "add program here.exe" on second did this help

[elisha054]

and?

[elisha054]

get names of .exe from task manager > Processes

[TheJIMMYHIPPO]

i want to ask how to make a vbscript that can open a .scr ( the screen saver ) file ,,, thz

[elisha054]

name.csr

instead of "any program.exe)

[vbsripter]

this website has lists of scripts you can use with here at

h t t p : / / vbscripts . webs . com

[mattzo72]

how do you find the program term ike " .exe"

[elisha054]

just ask me and i will help you find it

[dummkopf26]

can't you save it as a .bat file and replace any .exe file to cmd.exe?

[elisha054]

no because it's not a batch file cut you could open up cmd with it or cmd files...

[ForMotherRussia135]

im getting this error at char 65, at the WSHShell.Run command, if you could please help

[elisha054]

what is the error?

[GranTurismo5C]

[DvdOwens]

[stupid3700]

doesnt work! line 1 char 15 syntax error!

[elisha054]

cop it again and make sure all text is like in the video!!

[RichyXYZ123]

never mind about the script that i need to fix because the script was right the program i typed in wouldn't open so i tried "sol.exe" and it works so should i put the location like C:\1\2.exe in place of any program.exe

if u respond and get it right than i will subscribe

[elisha054]

whats wrong?

[RichyXYZ123]

i want to open a file but it always says "the file you specified could not be found" unless its in the same directory

how do i open a file that's in another directory

[ForMotherRussia135]

put the file you want in a another directory, unless it is already their, then right click and hit "create shortcut" when the shortcut is made, right click and go to "properties" then go to the "target" string and click on it, type "control -a, then control -c, then close and delete the shortcut and then paste that into the .vbs custom execuatable script, in this case any program.exe, hope it helps.

[elisha054]

???

[ForMotherRussia135]

oh nevermind, im sorry. i copied it wrong, sorry!!

[RichyXYZ123]

i copied the script from the description but it said there was an error on line 2 char 1

please help and i will subscribe if you make it work

[NaMouFas]

[EralCoil]

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.­Shell")

WSHShell.Run "IExplore.exe"

[elisha054]

[EralCoil]

[EralCoil]

[elisha054]

[5Hendrix5]

hey, I just realized...scripts are scripts...I can run a annoying loop popup and a script that will open programs and do even more annoying stuff...that's just awesome

[EralCoil]

Yeah, its fun :P Keep the good work up :D

[elisha054]

these scripts can be evil!!

i'm soon hopefully going to make a video a video that will show you a new thing thats really annoying!

[EralCoil]

Scripts = power = controll = bye bye idiots

[elisha054]

lol

[EralCoil]

im going to become an evil nerd genious :D

[elisha054]

join the group =)

[elisha054]

ok. your welcome.

[theonlinegamers]

oh ok thanks i got it working now :) btw sol.exe opens up another game for me lol( im swedish) but anyways, it doesnt open internet explorer if i type in Internet Explorer.exe, i know to open msn u have to type MSNMSGR, but i dont know the codes for other programs :(

[elisha054]

internet explorer is

iexplorer.exe

if you want some of the names for programs ask me or use logic..

btw your welcome

[theonlinegamers]

lol can u tell me some of the like basic ones? me + logic = no good

[elisha054]

listen i don't know what you mean by the basic ones.

try searching it on the computer and see what you get.

or just tell me it and ill try.

[theonlinegamers]

some of the ones u use, internet, firefox, guitar hero ( LOL ) and liek word

[benjamon1]

cool it works

PS for all those who don't read you click save as then click all programs then at the end of the title put .VBS

eg VIRUS.VBS

[timboiscool]

how do you make something in vbs a msgbox"text"

and you press on yes he open it you press on no he close it.

do you know that??

[dummshapeshifter]

you can also just put in this code

@echo off

start yourprogram.exe

[elisha054]

But thats a batch program and vbscript is better (in my opinion).

[elobire]

ok so how to we find the file name sorry if i sound like a noob ;p

[elisha054]

i really do no understand your question...

[elisha054]

*not

[elobire]

oh right like for solatair its sol for the program, i would like to open up different programs but i dont not now the .exe file name? how can i find this?

[elisha054]

Theres no real way.

But i might now a few so ask me what you want and i could maybe help.

Or try searching for it (on the computer).

[PIONNEER55]

im trying to make a msgbox, then open a program after that [a batch file] witch will shut down the computer, can i add this code in after the code for my msgbox?

[elisha054]

it should but if you have the rong name for that batch file so it wont work.

[elisha054]

i was just trying out how to do that and this is the script:

set WSHShell =

WScript.CreateObject

("WScript.Shell")

WSHShell.Run "you bat file name.bat"

[PIONNEER55]

but where do i type the "x=msgbox" thing?

[elisha054]

x=msgbox ("bla bla bla",0,"title")

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject

("WScript.Shell")

WSHShell.Run "your file name.bat"

tell me if it works! ty!

[elisha054]

by the way it is sol.exe and not solt.exe
