AutoIt

Q #1: I've got a script where I want to add network printers.  It appears
      that I can't get the backslash "\" to be input.  For example I want
      to type in::

      \\servername\.sys.vol1.servername

      The output I get is:

      \servername.sys.vol1.servername

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

A #1: In order to get a backslash "\", you must use a backslash in front,
      For two back slashes in your script, use four. For one backslash use
      two. Using your example, you would need to enter the line as follows;

        \\\\servername\\.sys.vol1.servername

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q #2: In relation to starting the Add Printer wizard under Windows 95. The
      command line is -

      rundll32.exe sysdm.cpl,InstallDevice_Rundll Printer

      but AutoIt thinks that anything after the ',' is the working
      directory. Anybody know a work around for this one?

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

A #1: Try putting a backslash (\) in front of the comma.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q #3: Why doesn't:

      run, "net" "use r: \\hotfurn1\bin"

      work?

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

A #1: Try using

      Run, net use r: \\\\hotfurn1\\bin

      instead.  What's been overlooked is that the backslash is an escape
      character in AutoIt, so you have to put it twice.
