Hi,
I am trying to make a small executable that will invoke the key commands to switch from the desktop to the Metroui in windows 8.
I am using a start menu replacement so the normal win key function for windows 8 has been changed to invoke the start menu in classic shell.
To switch from desktop to MetroUI you need to press winkey+c then hit enter. Someone helped me with the scripting below and told me to use Autoit to compile it to an exe.
That is where I am lost. I am not sure how to proceed or what program I actually need.
her is an example of the script.
Any help would be appriciated. The idea is to have a small exe that I can pin to the task bar and click on whenever I need to switch to Metro (which I hope is seldom).

[ code='text' ] ( Popup )
Local $ShellObj = ObjCreate("Shell.Application") $ShellObj.ToggleDesktop() sleep(100) Send("{LWINDOWN}c{LWINUP}") sleep(10) Send("{ENTER}")
