I have a pc with a firefox page open, i need that when the pc wake up from hibernation it open that page in firefox.
I need this to be automated so no one forget to check that page everyday.
is that possible?
thanks
You can add applications to Startup by going to Start Menu > Startup folder > Drag Firefox shortcut icon to Startup folder. This will start the program whenever windows starts up. Firefox will open on startup to whatever page you have saved as your startup page.
Another option instead of booting up the webpage whenever the computer wakes up, is to use an app like this one that displays a webpage as a screen saver.

My job is working on a website using Forefox, that website will promt a pop-up every 1 minute to give me a code. When the pop-up window appears, it'll display on top of all other windows and steals the focus. It's so annoying.
When i'm writing Word/Excel it causes mistyping, and that pop-up will minimize some full-screen application like Video Player/Games.
I've tried:
-Set working windows always on top - when i work with 5-10 programs a time it will be more annoyed.
-Change dom.disable_window_flip and browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground - NOT working.
I'm not sure if this problem come from Firefox or Windows's default setting for a new window pop-up.
Could anyone give me a solution for this case?
Thanks in advance
I have a 3 monitor setup which is connected to a PC. It displays a Google Chrome tab on each of the screens with some dashboard. It will auto log off every night from the website (I cannot control that). So I need to manually login to it, open the tabs, then move it to each of the monitors every night. I am trying to automate this task. I am trying to use Sikuli slides to do it. Right now I am able to login, open tabs, and click on buttons. But I am not able to drag the tabs to other monitors. It doesn't matter which tab is displayed in which monitor. The PC is running Windows 7. How can I get it done ? Any scripting language or tool which is available in windows is fine. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Added an image which describes my need
You're opening the same thing on the same computer on the same screens, so it will be in the same place every time.
AutoHotKey (AHK) can do click-and-drag from a start coordinate to an end coordinate:
https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/MouseClickDrag.htm
Run AutoHotKey, right click on the icon in the taskbar notification area (systray) and click 'Window Spy', and it will bring up AHK's helper tool. Now you can click on the Chrome tabs and look in AHK to see the coordinates of the mouse pointer, so you can plug those into the command. And drag/drop the browser and look at the mouse coordinates there, too.
(And if you weren't using Windows 7, but instead 8 or 8.1 or 10, you could use Aero Snap with Win+RightArrow, Win+RightArrow and Win+UpArrow to move the active window to the edge of the center screen, then to the right screen, then to fullscreen it).
(Or you could use Alt-Space, M, Arrow Keys to script moving the focused window around).
This is what I did to fix it:
Used MouseRecorder to record the mouse movements and keystrokes including my username and password. Using this, I logged in, opened tabs, clicked on buttons and moved them to different monitors.
Problem with this is that it is not possible to load a saved macro and run using the commandline (or I could not figure out). So I used Mouse Controller to record the mouse movement to open MouseRecorder and click on run. [It cannot record key strokes]. Mouse controller has option to run from commandline with ability to accept the filename as argument.
I wrote a batch file to open and run MouseRecorder and scheduled to run every night using task scheduler.
My windows Cortona, for some reason, after a while of the computer turning on, cannot activate. I click the ask me anything and it does nothing. The start button also doesn't work. I can open things on the taskbar and everything but just not Cortona and the Start button. This renders me useless when opening other apps! Help!
try to set language of cortana to Uk English in setting
I want to disable / block the mouse click and keyboard typing for 6 seconds after launching a .exe file while displaying a advsplash.
Currently I manage to run a .exe file, activate the splash, block the keyboard and run a second .exe, but then, I need to restart the computer to unlock the mouse/keyboard.
Any idea on how to disable it without restarting the machine ?
This sounds like something you should never do.
If you want to do UI automation Windows already has support for that, using SendInput or keybd_event is not a good idea. Some apps steal foreground focus, this is just a fact and if that happens at the wrong time you end up sending input to the wrong window.
I need that one of our computers, when it boots, automatically opens Internet Explorer. IE should be Full screen (without the border and the address bar.. totally full screen) and open a default URL (no problem on this, just set it as homepage). Then I would need that if a textbox inside this page gets focus then the on-screen keyboard should show up.
can this be achived with standard windows settings or do i have to write my own program with browser inside? if i write my own vb.net program, can the program be totally fullscreen (without the X to close and without seeing the task bar)
what we need to do is set up a sort of a internet station where random people can browse a given page without having a keyboard and without having the possibility to access the system.
thanks
I would say it is possible - but I have no idea how to achieve this. There will be a registry setting of some sort which SHOULD enable the keyboard. Sorry - I barely touched this areas :(
