Description MMM+ Would Crash In Win7 On Certain Apps Like Notepad And Regedit
When Using The Menu Bar In Those Programs....

THAT IS WHY I USE THIS SWITCH .... I ENJOY MMM+ IN WIN7

This Is The AutoIt version ... AutoIt GUI Form With Button which I can x,y coordinate
Turns Off The MmmTray.exe and then Press Ok Turns It Back On

MmmTrayFix.au3 included ... and looks like this

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include
#include

$Input = GUICreate("", 125, 27, 884, 11)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Restart Hace MMM+", 1, 1, 123, 26)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Run(@ComSpec & " /c Taskkill.EXE /F /IM Mmm.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
Run(@ComSpec & " /c Taskkill.EXE /F /IM Mmmtray.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)

While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit

Case $Button1
shellexecute("C:/Program Files/HACE/Mmm/MmmTray.exe")
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Script Tips In Autoit

Taskkill turns off Mmmtray.exe and command windows is hidden ( Notice Example Above )
shellexecute ("") is used to restart MmmTray.exe
AutoIt Form And Button Version ( Notice also It Exits After shellexecute("")

I used Aut2exe.exe to convert .au3 to .exe ( It comes with AutoIt v3 )


It's best to have Hace MMM+ in c:/program files/HACE/MMM/ Folder

I am satisfied with the results using AutoIt
It's a small window... Looks Sharp Enough... I can control the location... Does what I want it to do


FYI This is just the Off / On Switch So you can run MMM+ in Win7 without it crashing your apps
No software is actually included.... just the off / on switch and shortcut

Do you use the 32- or 64bit version of Windows 7? I was able to make Mmm+ run on 32bit without much trouble, but found it totally dysfunctional in 64bit (I tried the usual things like compatibility mode). Any tips from your side?

Thanks

I only use 32 bit... I would forget Mmm+ and switch toΒ  Emerge Desktop and add items to the Context Menu
using that program...Β  I have nothing on my desktop.... I access all my folders and apps using Emerge Desktop
