[RESOLVED] BIG Problem[Cant Think Title]
hello all,
i have got a very big problem of my life now :( please solve this out. i got fever when i came to know i can not do it myself. i searched approx 4 hours last night but could not find any solution :(
the problem is related to my project about which i have been bothering you all.
The Problem IS:
suppose you have to open NOTEPAD Or Any Other Software By Startmenu Or Creating Any Folder or anything we do in our computer.
let me explain.
Suppose i we have to open notepad.
The steps are
1) Click Start menu
2) Programs
3) Accessories
4) Click Notepad
this will launch the notepad.
once this is done by us to open notepad then this activity should be stored in our project and when i reopen the project and perform the same steps project should return True otherwise if Notepad is open in anyother way then project should return False. and so on...
hope you can understand what is the problem. this is not only with notepad this has to be applied with all the softwares. but only once in a time.
Please help me with this big issue :(

This will execute any command. I wouldn't want my mouse moving around clicking things.
