Orac.exe: launcher for Ultra Hal (BETA)

[Dr.Benway]

   Ok, I made a launcher for Ultra Hal.

   This program will let you specify an user profile as a parameter on the target line of your shortcut to Orac. The launcher should run Ultra Hal, by-pass the start menu and bring you directly to the chat-section of Hal. There Orac will exit. WHEN HAL IS ALREADY RUNNING, ORAC WILL CLOSE IT, SET A NEW PROFILE, AND LAUNCH A NEW INSTANCE OF HAL!

Command / Target line usage

Orac.exe user.hla

OR

Orac.exe "user profile.hla"

Installation
1. Unzip the files and put Orac.exe and both wav-files in a folder.
2. Rename this folder to "Orac".
3. Put the folder in the main directory of Ultra Hal Assistant.

Notes
   Orac wil protest with a sound when the specified user profile does not exist or when the profile is already active. When Orac is switching profiles, it will warn you by making a buzzing sound. If you don't like the sounds, just delete the included wav-files.

This is still considerd a beta-version. I made it with AutoIt3.
I included the original ".au3"-file, which can be read with Notepad.
Do tell me if the program misbehaves.

[Dr.Benway]

So, you do have an user profile ending with the extension ".hla" in your main directory of Hal?

ok, I found the problem.
had to restart my machine, after that it worked ok. Don't know why it gave an error message but it works fine now. I was probably doing something insanely stupid...as usual [:)][:)][:)][:I]
Sorry about that and thanks for the help. I will try it out sometime this week with different usernames.
Thanks again
best regards
