Calling up the Vista Start Menu

from Stardock Forums

Is is possible to call up the Start Menu with a DX object? 

OD+ has a built-in docklet that will call up the Vista start menu, but a DX object does not seem to have the option to change its type to something with that functionality.  I can change the object from 'layer' to 'shortcut' but have been unable to find a way to make a 'shortcut' send a keystroke (i.e. the 'Windows' key) that would call up the Start Menu, like pressing the Windows key would. 

Is there a way to use a script to send a keystroke to the system?

 

Thanks.

I use a script that calls sendkey when I need to do something like that.

you can open the vista start menu with a dx object. itt's easy. create new objet and add capacities start menu 2, then click ok. you just have to left click on the object to open the vista start menu.
