Windows 10: Minimize Window bat or VBS

I'm currently using the following below using a VBS and have had success with it minimizing folders and programs, but I can't get it to minimize web browsers like Brave or Vivaldi.

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.SendKeys "% n"

Is there any chance of something like a .bat file or something else that can be added to the above? I'm using recommended software Quick Cliq 2.1.1 to open it for quicker access. Appreciate it!

Version 18363

How do I get Cortana Search to work with CMD/BAT/VBS/PS1 files?

This is utterly infuriating to me. For some odd reason (I can only assume its security related) *none* of my scripts ever show up in Cortana searches. In build 1511 of Windows 10 I was able to work around this by creating a link in my task-bar with the following
Target settings:

%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\rundll32.exe -sta {C90FB8CA-3295-4462-A721-2935E83694BA}

This older search (that would slide out as a pane from the right hand side when invoked and appeared to be left over from Windows 8) would list my script files when I searched on them by name. However it now seems this feature was removed in the 1607 build
of Windows 10. The crazy thing is I can go into the Indexing Options in Control Panel and see plain as day that indexing is enabled for CMD/BAT/VBS/PS1 files but they flat refuse to show up in any searches. This is crazy annoying to me as I have a number of
scripts that I use throughout the day that I like to call on quickly to automate repetitive tasks.

Does anyone know of a way to make Cortana Search actually list CMD/BAT/VBS/PS1 files in search results?

 

VBS Msgbox

Denis,

• I was too lazy to compute the size programmatically. And, it the 2005 version the message box always came up hidden, so I always used 0 for the top. It's also part of my OCD to be able to control everything.
• I personally don't need it to timeout. I used this in vbs files to ask to continue to the next step, skip the next step or cancel the vbs. BTW, I added the code back in but keep it assign it to 0.
• Sound was calling Windows Media Player: WshShell.Run "C:\Users\donast\desktop\sndrec32.lnk",7,false the lnk is a shortcut on my old desktop that had: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"
  "C:\Users\Public\Music\Wavefiles\Twilight.wav"
• Yes. The value is the number of the button in the order specified when calling it.
• Never really thought about it as all my VBS/VBA code is relatively simple and I add comments in the file as necessary to remind me what is going on. I don't usually have anyone to share my code.

FYI I use a VBS to call it. Here's a line from a test vbs I use to run your version:

choice=Wshshell.run("custommsgbox.vbs " & wscript.scriptname & " ""CopyFiles.vbs done. Continue with UnArchVista.vbs?"" ""White"" ""Black"" 40 ""Yes"" ""No"" ""Cancel""",1,true)

Copy it to a text editor to see all the spaces, etc. Took me a while back the to figure it out.

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?
