Looping explorer windows - On a timer

[rpettit]

Is there a way to loop (like a slideshow) open explorer windows on a timer?

 

I am looking to have open several monitoring tools on a dedicated machine connected to a monitor.

 

Many thanks

You could probably use AutoIT to automate some/all of this but without knowing exactly which tools and how the windows / apps are presented it's hard to be specific.

Not exactly high tech or fool proof but an app which send key commands ie Alt-Tab...

Hi - we use the below script to do this, got 3 or 4 wall mounted monitors in IT that we have set to loop round a selection of websites that display systems monitor data (which are different from the URL's I've pasted below).

 

 

dim arURLs(3)

arURLs(0) = "first URL goes here"
arURLs(1) = "second URL goes here"
arURLs(2) = "third URL goes here"

dim objIE
nInterval = 20

Do


For Each url in arURLs

	set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
	objIE.visible = true
	objIE.FullScreen = True
	objIE.Navigate url

	WScript.sleep nInterval * 1000
	set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

	objShell.Run "taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe"
	WScript.sleep 1 * 1000

Next


Loop
