BAT File issue

[Danny159]

Hey,

 

I am a photographer and am trying to make a .bat file to open photos when I take a photo onto my PC, I have canon software that will get it off my camera via the data lead but now I need to make a bat file to open it in windows gallery then 10 seconds later close it! But I cant get it to work!

 

Here is that I have the first line works and opens the image, its the sleep for 10 seconds and the closing of windows gallery...

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %~1

sleep 10

TASKKILL /F /IM "rundll32.exe"

 

 

Any ideas?

Would be easier using AutoIT.....

Specially the Taskkill. Process close would be a better choice !!

 

Checkout AutoIt Script Home Page

Vbscript version below :

 

Dim oShell
Dim intSleep

intSleep = 10 * 1000

Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

oShell.run "rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen"

wscript.sleep intSleep

Dim objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess
Dim strComputer, strProcessKill
strComputer = WshNetwork.ComputerName
strProcessKill = "'rundll32.exe'"

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & strProcessKill )
For Each objProcess in colProcess
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
[b]WSCript.Echo "Just killed process " & strProcessKill _
& " on " & strComputer[/b]
WScript.Quit 
oShell = Nothing

First attempt so appologies if it does not work or if there are some coding ommisions.

 

You can get rid of the messagebox at the end of you wish just delete the 2 lines in bold in the coded example.

 

You can download the text version below and rename the file extension from txt to vbs and run it

script.txt
