Breaker Breaker Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-06-15 Posts: 268 Loc: Yorkshire, England	Try Code: $x = SendKeys("^{ESC}") Pops up the Windows Start menu. Depends what you want to do after that - I'm not sure that this will work with E, M, etc to use Window key functions. [trying...] Nope doesn't seem to do it. Sorry. _________________________ ================================================ Breaker

AzzerShaw AzzerShaw Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2003-02-20 Posts: 510 Loc: Cheltenham, England	Thanks anyway. Seems on a no win situation here. Even used a key logger and that doesnt pick it up. Will find another way round my problems. Aaron _________________________ If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it. - W.C Fields

Maybe if you explained what you are trying to do, someone may have another approach. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
