notepad loop created automatically with VBScript - vbscript

I've created a VBScript to open notepad and write Hello. But it is opening notepad again and again
my code is:
WScript.Sleep 1000
Set WshShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "notepad"
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.AppActivate "Notepad"
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys "Hello"
WScript.Sleep 500


Did you name your script notepad.vbs? please change the name, or
WshShell.Run "notepad.exe"
If no full path specified, windows will try to find the program in the working directory first instead of %PATH%.

how to start minecraft with vbs?

I'm working with a startup on my computer and I'm wondering how to start Minecraft with vbs.
Here is the code I have:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WScript.sleep 200
wshshell.Run "chrome.exe"
WScript.sleep 200
wshshell.Run "start minecraft here"
WScript.sleep 200
WshShell.Run "C:\Users\username\Desktop\"
WScript.sleep 200
WshShell.Run "C:\Users\username\Desktop\Discord.lnk"
WScript.sleep 999
WshShell.Run "TASKKILL /F cmd.exe /T"
i only want it so it start Minecraft launcher. The problem for me is can't find it. I have try to start it with a shortcut some I have on the desktop. and if you see any more problems with my code so say that to, I'm new on vbs.

An easy workaround is simply to move the minecraft installation out from the Program Files (x86) folder to something that requires a bit less rights. This worked for me.

Fill text in selected field from active window - VBScript, WScript.Shell

I use vbs to upload files into SAP. After clicking "add file" in sap I have the following window on the screen.
I can't control that window using SAP Object so I use WScript.Shell. My question is - how to paste text (file path) to the field "File name:"? I was using wshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" to jump from one field to another and paste file path, but somehow it doesn't work always. How to get control over that field "File name:" directly and edit it's value?
My code here:
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
filePath = "C:\image.png"
wshShell.AppActivate("Storing Files in Documents")
WScript.sleep 200
wshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.sleep 200
wshShell.SendKeys filePath
WScript.sleep 200
wshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Quit

VBSCRIPT SAVEAS

I have the following:
set wshshell=createobject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.run """C:\ReportName.pdf"""
This opens the named PDF. What code do I need to save that opened file as, like a SaveAs.. saving it as the same filename?
Thanks

Here is sample code
set wshshell=createobject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.run """C:\ReportName.pdf"""
wscript.sleep 2000 'sleep for 2 seconds to ensure file is open
wshshell.SendKeys "%{F}{A}" 'simulate ALT+F+A to open SaveAs dialog
wscript.sleep 5000 ' sleep for 5 seconds so that the save as dialog is open
wshshell.SendKeys "+{TAB}{ENTER}" 'simulate Shit+Tab so that the tab is moved backed to Choose a diff folder option
wscript.sleep 2000
wshshell.SendKeys "C:\NewFile.PDF{ENTER}"
wscript.sleep 3000
wshshell.SendKeys "%{F}{X}"

It sounds like you want to copy the file or move/rename the file. If so, use FileSystemObject:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Call fso.CopyFile("C:\ReportName.pdf", "C:\NewReport.pdf")
' or
Call fso.MoveFile("C:\ReportName.pdf", "C:\NewReport.pdf")

Batch File to call VBS which sends keys to application

So I am trying to make a batch file that will download your search history. In doing this I need to use the keys Ctrl+A and Ctrl+S along with typing the name of the file. I just need to find a way to have the code automatically carry out the action of selecting all the history by Ctrl+A and saving it by Ctrl+S and then naming it scarra history.
I have a folder containing 4 files:
Scarra.bat
ChromeHistoryView.exe
Sendkeys.bat
Sendkeys.vbs
Scarra.bat is as follows:
call ChromeHistoryView.exe
call sendkeys.bat
pause
Sendkeys.vbs is as follows:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "^a"
Sendkeys.bat is as follows, this is what I use to try to call the bat:
wscript "sendkeys.vbs"

Add this to Sendkeys.vbs
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "^a"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "^s"
WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "scarra history"
Change Sendkeys.bat to
cscript sendkeys.vbs

How Can i open an cmd prompt and set an path to open an .bat file in Vb Script..?

I need to Automate the Whole Process, So the Cmd Prompt opens and path is set there for the .bat file to open

Thanks In Advance

Here you go
Set WshShell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "cmd"
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.AppActivate "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"
WScript.Sleep 100
wshshell.sendkeys "c:\path"
wshshell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
wshshell.sendkeys "SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\tmp"
wshshell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
wshshell.sendkeys "batch.cmd"
wshshell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
