hi, im trying to make a batch file to type in my AIM password in the AIM Password text box...heres the code that will/won't work....
echo off title Auto log in cls start aim.exe type login.txt pause
its short and sweet, the way i like things, but when it says the passord in the "login.txt" file, it says it on the batch file window, not AIM, any ways to make it say it on AIM?

I'm no batch file expert, but that seems like an awefully complicated thing for a batch file to do... But then again, I've never programmed in NT batch, so don't take my word for it..

Not likely.
If the program accepts command line parameters, try creating a .pif for it.

Hi,
Right click on the desktop and make a new shortcut. It will ask you to choose the program.
Once it's created, you can right click > properties, and give it the required parametrs.
