- First, to determine your public IP address, the following 4 lines will do the trick:
- Forum Topic
UrlDownloadToFile,http://www.netikus.net/show_ip.html/,%TEMP%\ip
FileReadLine,IP,%TEMP%\ip,1
FileDelete,%TEMP%\ip
MsgBox,4160,Public IP,%ip%
- Second, if tooltips are being displayed beneath the System Tray making them unreadable, 1 line of code can put them

- Forum Topic
WinSet,AlwaysOnTop,,ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd

RunWait, %comspec% /c systeminfo > tmpFile,,Hide
FileRead, var, tmpfile
FileDelete, tmpfile
Gui, Add, Edit, w600 h600, %var%
Gui, Show
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp

- The above method of capturing data from a Windows command line utility can be used to retrieve a plethora of useful
information such as:
- • WorkGroup Name
- • Internet Connectivity
- • Network Drives
- • MAC Addresses
- • and much more.
Tip: see this forum topic for an example of a relatively
simple method to retrieve command line output without a text file.
- For a list of the available command line utilities see the
