Toggle Function

[MourningStar]

Hi -

I use two powerplans and have created a shortcut/icon for each. Is it possible to create a single icon that will toggle between the two plans?

I also have an open dvd door icon and a close dvd door icon that I would like to reduce to a single button/ion/shortcut operation. I am guessing the solution for one is the same/similar as the other?

Currently, I have a shortcut/icon for 1. & 2. of the following that I would like to to have just one shortcut/icon or 'key' that toggles between the two :

1. C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe -setactive 32ab947d-4ee3-48bd-8914-1233eac022d9

2. C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe -setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e

... also, the same desired for 'open' & 'close' of the dvd door/tray :

1. "C:\Program Files\nircmd-x64\nircmd.exe" cdrom open E:

2. "C:\Program Files\nircmd-x64\nircmd.exe" cdrom close E:

thnx,
-Marcos

In order to have one shortcut do that, it would have to call a batch or vbs file that includes some logic to query what the current state is and then set it to the other state.

and what would that look like?

It could look like a lot of things, depending how you code it.
