RE: Changing the Windows Background NT 4.0
I think when you set as background an image from within Internet Explorer, part of what (the OS|IE) does is convert it to a .bmp first and then store it in the system folder (I think). Maybe it's simpler for the operating system to not have to de-crunch a .jpg. I can't believe I'm accusing Microsoft of economizing on operating system code :) Shawn p.s. maybe there's a way to access the set as background call, or an easy way to convert between .jpg|.gif to .bmp floating around out there as a script/module (then you can make the appropriate registry change) p.p.s. if you get it right, post the code to the list :) -Original Message- From: Story, Lenny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 2:38 PM To: Adam Frielink; Story, Lenny; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Changing the Windows Background NT 4.0 Actually, Active Desktop is on.

What do you mean? Just strip out the tags? If so, try the following: perl -pi -e 's/[^]+//g' yourfile.html The above one liner should strip out all tags, but you may also want to add a tr/// to fix escaped HTML characters.

RE: Sendkeys and strange program behavior
I have never used sendkeys, but if you can use it to pass control keys, try sending a ctrl-J. I've tried that sequence manually and it works, so if sendkeys can send control keys it should work. ctrl anything produces the windows default sound. It's not working the way the other windows do because it's not a WindowsÒ, window. The interface is (I guess:) either a Java program, or a highly modified ASP web page (modified not to look at all like a normal browser window). When the program is first activated, if the mouse pointer is never moved over it's window, tab does move the focus. However, if it ever sees the pointer, focus follows the pointer, and tab no longer functions to move the focus. I suppose the modules that have been suggested could work if I could determine the X,Y position of the click point. I assume that must be relative to the window that has focus. Is that correct? If it isn't, things could get crazy real fast if the window were ever dragged. Enter BTW at any point makes the window totally invisible, from the taskbar as well, Yet Ctrl -- Alt -- Delete shows the program still running, and a second enter will bring it back. It seems to be a side effect with this program but that's a trick I would really like to know how to do. I'm trying to use Perl to start a program, and that program's only reason for existence is to start a program. In this case, determine from a among a number of servers, if any is active, and connect to it. A reaction of a business about a mile from the WTC to 9/11. They now have servers in NY and in Jersey. Woopie, The entire northeast power grid once went down because a car ran into a substation. I recommended at least California, possibly even Australia or England but does anybody listen to me:) Probably what I need to do is cut through all the muck, determine in my script which, if any of the servers are active, perhaps even which has the lowest latency if all are functioning (a little fluff of my own:), and make the connection in my script. It doesn't sound that difficult, and it would certainly eliminate about 95% of fluff stuff that I'm just plain not using anyway. Not that speed is an issue but elegance in a program is something that anyone who's ever written a line of code they're proud of has a soft spot in their heart for. That would be all of us. Right? :) ms At 05:49 PM 8/1/02, you wrote: -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael D.
