Hello everyone, I could use some help with the following: I'm a speech recognition user and recently I've started to use AutoIt for additional scripting because sometimes it works faster. I would like to create an AutoIt script that will open the Chrome link on my desktop which is a a symbolic link, so that the Chrome cache is on my Ram drive: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir="A:\Browser Cache" Next I want to send the website address, in this case: https://autochords.com/ (with SendKeys) to the address bar. Then another SendKeys to send Enter. I want to use this script when I'm working on my girlfriend's computer, where speech recognition isn't installed. I could use ShellExecute ("Chrome", "https://autochords.com/") but then it won't run via my ram drive. I am a Dragon NaturallySpeaking user. The program has a scripting language similar to VBA. In Dragon the command is as follows: HeardWord "open","chrome" ; HeardWord acts as if I literally said "open Chrome" this command opens any desktop shortcut no matter which window I'm working in. Wait 1500 SendKeys "https://autochords.com/" SendKeys "{Enter}"; these last three lines are similar to AutoIt language I think..... Any help would be appreciated. Rob
