PDC.Create Desktop no Explorer

Used to create a private Desktop (Hidden Desktop)

Intention

This Command will create e a new "private Desktop" (PD) without running the windows Explorer on this new desktop.

It only makes sense, to start a Program on that PD, immediately after its creation.

For more Details on "Private Desktops" (PD) see here: PDC - General Information.

Here is a Sample-Script.

VAR.$$PRO=?progs\Smart Package Robot\Desktops_Manager.exe

PDC.Create Desktop no Explorer|DTA

PDC.Run on Desktop WFI|DTA|$$PRO

PDC.Switch to Desktop|DTA

PAU.5

PDC.Goto Default

PDC.Close Desktop|DTA

MBX.!

ENR.

The result will be visible in the SPR-Editor's "Desktop Inspector".

PDC_22

Important:

PD's that are created without an "Explorer" may automatically close after the Script (and otehr Tasks running there) have ended!

Therefore they will only be visible as long as the Script is running.

Syntax:

PDC.Create Desktop no Explorer|P1

PDC.CDN|P1

Parameter Explanation:

P1 - The name of the new private Desktop.

Example:

'----------------------------------------

VAR.$$PRO=?progs\Smart Package Robot\Desktops_Manager.exe

PDC.Create Desktop no Explorer|DTA

PDC.Run on Desktop WFI|DTA|$$PRO

PDC.Switch to Desktop|DTA

Remarks:

This feature is currently experimental, therefore not all features of the SPR and the SPR-Editor may work as expected on private Desktops. To create a private Desktop, the Executable needs Admin-Rights.

Limitations:

This Feature may require Windows Vista or higher.
