Hi and welcome... next time put your code between tags like this

expandcollapse popup

[/AUTOIT] your code must be between the brackets "]Your code["
About your code it have several errors, like using an unique variable to store all the ID of the munu Items, you will not be able to use those menu items later. I delete the last While loop because it seems useless, another thing that i change is the If method in the main loop because it seems a madness write all those "If Then, If Then If Then, etc." for all the cases you have, i change it to Swtich Case. I use ShellExecute to Open a WebPage with the default browser.
