how can I make a batch file press a button for example"Tab".?

Question

I want a batch file to change a setting on my computer but it has to push some buttons to change it. Thanks

Answer 1

You can't send tabs with batch files.

You should be using .vbs, or something like AutoIT.

Here is a sample vbs file to show you how to send tabs. Just paste everything into a text file, and name it file.vbs, then double click it.

set obj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

obj.Run "notepad.exe"
WScript.Sleep 500
obj.SendKeys "{TAB} That was a tab {ENTER}"
Wscript.sleep 500
obj.SendKeys "{TAB}see?{TAB} :D"

Answer 2

You can't really do it unless you have some keyboard simulation software. However, settings might be able to be changed without simulating pressing keys. What are you trying to change?
