creating a batch file to enter password in another program

[Medaitor]

How Can I create a batch file that will enter the password automatically into another program when it loads? 

I was doing some research this morning and  haven't found what I"m looking for.   I use 2 programs on my office computer (this is my computer not the company I work for) every day that require me to enter my password everytime I load the programs. 

Now I use Roboform form filler on the internet but that only fills forms on web based content in IE.

use this
set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.AppActivate "program"
WshShell.SendKeys "password"
save as .vbs

use this
set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.AppActivate "program"
WshShell.SendKeys "password"
save as .vbs

Thanks a million!   Okay so I got this to work using one of the programs so far but it's entering the password in the "User ID:" field.  What do I need to add to the code to have it enter into the field labeled "Password:" .......  Or better yet have both of them entered.  Here's what my script code looks like (keep in mind that the window active is labeled "User Login" so I had to use that as the program name):

set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.AppActivate "User Login"
WshShell.SendKeys "mypassword"

set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.AppActivate "User Login"
WshShell.SendKeys "{tab}mypassword"

this assumes you can press tab once to get from the userID to the password field. Also, if the userID is not filled in by default you should use "userID{tab}password{enter}"

- I cannot remember if it was {enter} or {return}, but one of those should automate the press of the OK button.

BC - thanks the {tab} did the trick because the username was already there.

One more question.... okay maybe it's not just one more question :-)

I'm running this script for 2 separate programs so I have to keep 2 icons on my desktop amongst many others I use hotkeys for.  I'm tyring to minimize the amount of icons I have on my desktop so Is there a way to have the 2 scripts run in the same .vbs file?  I tried this but it enter the 2 different passwords together in one of the programs.  I thought maybe with an "if, then, else" statement or something coded in it would work the way I need it to.  I just don't understand this the VB language so.....

Thanks in advance.

 the appactive part needs to be in between the to passwords

[Medaitor]

So it would look like this then?

set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.AppActivate "program#1"
WshShell.SendKeys "password#1"
wshshell.AppActivate "program#2"
WshShell.SendKeys "password#2"

I tried that and it still enters both passwords on top of each other in the program#1 but works on Program#2.  I'm sure I just have something wrong in the code.

better way put the two vbs files in a folder ex. C:\ex
make a bat file same folder with this code

Code: [Select]

start 1.vbs
start 2.vbs
exit

Okay I didn't think about that.  I can create the bat - convert to .exe and create a short cut with a hot key and voila.  Thanks.

Ok I am attempting this and having some issues... could you please assist me?

set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.AppActivate "path to .exe file"
WshShell.SendKeys "Username here{tab}password here{enter}"
This is what I have and have saved it as a .VB. it does not open the correct app, or anything.... What am I missing here???

[BC_Programmer]

VBScript files have to be .vbs, not .vb.

AppActivate activates an already running program by the title of it's window. If you want to start a program, There is something else to do it (I don't know what, specifically, possibly WScript.Exec()... (Not On windows at the moment, so I cannot check)

Ok I will keep searching...
