Need help to start Chrome in Kiosk Mode in Table Mode

[carrausse]

Hi,

I have been trying to crack a tough nut for a few days: I need to start Chrome in Kiosk mode in Table Mode 

1. I Know how to create my shortcut to start in Kiosk mode
2. I know how to start Windows in Tablet mode

However, once Windows start in Tablet Mode it woud indeed start the shortcut to Chrome placed in the startup folder... but it would start minimized in the task bar! And it would display the Menu Screen (icons)...

That's where I heard of MMM in this post : www.tenforums.com/software-apps/22466-startup-program-starts-minimized-when-tablet-mode.html

There is a guy called Tamarack who said he managed to to it using MMM.

So I tried also and I managed to create my own macro, but I am struggling to get this Macro running.

Here is how my macro looks like :
15 | 486 | 1055 | 10359 | Left Click Down

16 | 486 | 1055 | 107 | Left Click Release

I tried to use Run on startup but later I realise I can use file association and run my macro from the startup folder. So I turn off run on startup but I dont understand why it still run on startup : After reboot MMM is started even though I turned off run on startup and there is mo macro file in the startup folder.

ANy idea if I should use run on startup and macro queue or just put a macro file in the startup folder? The help section is really not clear about this.

If anyone has already succesfuuly dond a similar setup on Tablet Mode, let me know, that would be really helpful...

Thanks

Alex

Does your macro work and do what you need it to do when running it directly from MMM? If it does then all we need to focus on is the automating this macro to run at startup.

We can do this a few ways, as you mentioned from the macro queue and setting to run the minimousemacro.exe at startup from within the MMM settings is one way, but an easier way is to throw it into a script and drop it into your startup folder.

If your comfortable with batch scripting then this is the easiest approach. Drop the call into a batch file and put the script into your startup folder. MMM can accept these command line args:


Enabling file association is another way. Here you just need to enable file association within MMM, depending on the version of MMM you are using you might need to run mmm as admin to do this (the latest version uses UAC to prompt for permission), and drop the saved .mmmacro file into your startup folder.
