Right Click - Unpin Taskbar

[dimastky]

Hello everybody

I need some help.

I want to field a script on 200 laptops, and i really need that the script point on "unpin to task bar".

The mouse can click only on this function ?

I try an alternative method using 9X "up" on keyboard for reach "unpin to taskbar", but this function is not on the same place on all laptops.

How can i do this ?

Thank for your answers

Thanks, but i already have the path. I just want the command for click on "Unpin to the taskbar"

I notice when using shift-click on a file, I get a keyboard shortcut. Can press K to un-pin on my system; even if I didn't use shift-click to open the menu.

It works, thanks. But now i want to simulate a leftclick + MAJ for access to unpin ( screenshot in attachment )

How can i do for not use"Mouseclick" ? I just want to use the Keyboard

 

$sUserName = @UserName

If  FileExists("C:\Users\" & $sUserName & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\excel.lnk")Then
   Send("#r")
   sleep(1000)
   Send("%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar")
   Send("{Enter}")
   sleep(2000)
   send("^f")
   sleep(2000)
   send("Excel")
   sleep(1000)
   send("{TAB}")
   sleep(1000)
   send("{TAB}")
   sleep(1000)
   send("{down}")
   sleep(1000)
   ;Here i want to left click and MAJ for acess to 

mou
   ;sleep(1000)
   ;Send("{ENTER}")
   ;sleep(1000)
   WinKill("Excel - Résultats de la recherche dans TaskBar")
EndIf

Easier way

#include <WinAPIShellEx.au3>
_WinAPI_ShellOpenFolderAndSelectItems("C:\Users\" & @UserName & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\Internet Explorer.lnk")
Sleep(250)
Send("{APPSKEY}")
Sleep(50)
Send("k")
Send("{F5}")

It doesn't works for my laptops. If i press "d" and "d", it works on my laptop, but on my friend's laptop it doesn't works.

 

It is not possible to access to unpin (top-left corner) with keyboard ? ^^

I've yet to be blessed with the learning of Win10.

 

Found this:

 

[Exit]

#include <WinAPIShellEx.au3>
$rc = _WinAPI_ShellOpenFolderAndSelectItems("C:\Users\" & @UserName & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\Internet Explorer.lnk")
If @error Then Exit MsgBox(64+262144, Default, "Internet Explorer.lnk not found",0)
MouseMove(-1, -1, 0)  ; move mouse outside of window. Otherwise item under mousecursor will be selected and deleted.

;~ Long sleeps To see what happens

Sleep(1000)
Send("{ALT}")
Sleep(1000)
Send("R")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{ALT}")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{ALT}")
Sleep(1000)
Send("J")
Sleep(1000)
Send("A")
Sleep(1000)
Send("B")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{F5}")

Why in the world are you trying to do this with Sends and mouse clicks? Why not just find out what shortcuts are in the folder and delete the ones you don't want?

@BrewManNH

This was the original poster's question and I answered it.
I would solve this task with UIA.

@Exit My question wasn't aimed at you, sorry if it sounded that way.

I was asking the OP why he would use such an inefficient and error prone way to do something so simple as to boggle the mind why you'd want to do it with the keyboard.

Hello,

Because Microsoft's shortcuts are differents to unpin to the other. 

And i do unpin Excel, Word, Outlook on approximatly 2500 laptops

It would be always a thousand times better to use @BrewManNH solution.
