Chances are there is a program out tehre that does this but i am sorta new to this whole programing thingy and I'm trying to make a program my self and all i'm trying to do is get this to open paint and i got it to open paint but a pop up saying "The Command you entered was not recognized.
If the message was not ment to be a commant, insert a double '//' at its beginning." when i try and use the command. can you help me?

here is what i got for the script:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message){
   
    if(Message=="/paint"){

        var shell = new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
        shell.Run("mspaint.exe");

    }

}
function OnGetScriptCommands(){
    var commands = '<ScriptCommands>';
        commands+='<Command>';
            commands+='<Name>/paint</Name>';
            commands+='<Description>Open paint.</Description>';
        commands+='</Command>';
    return commands;
}

Your code was quite good, the only problem was you forgot to return a blank string at the end of calling the command.  I updated the code with this small fix to help you.  Have fun coding

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message){
   
    if(Message=="/paint"){

        var shell = new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
        shell.Run("mspaint.exe");
        return "";

    }

}
function OnGetScriptCommands(){
    var commands = '<ScriptCommands>';
        commands+='<Command>';
            commands+='<Name>paint</Name>';
            commands+='<Description>Open paint.</Description>';
        commands+='</Command>';
    return commands;
}

thanks

one more tiny thing. The command isn't showing up on the commands list, why?

There was a / before paint in the <name> area which was causing the problem because it wasn't needed.  I update the code in the post above so it doesn't have this problem.

oh ok thanks i just like entered the code and that never checked the list after entering the code
