Using Send() is just emulating the keyboard. I think it is the Tab key and Arrow up key to switch radio buttons for Nero. Try it manually with the keyboard to check.

Send('{TAB}{UP}')

Very good bobthenob.

Just some tips.

This line is hard coded to only C: drive.

Use macros to improve chances if Program Files is else where.

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Ahead\Nero\nero.exe")

A little optimize trick for you. Your code below can be made easier.

WinWaitActive ("New Compilation")
Send('{tab}')
Send('{tab}')
Send('{tab}')
Send('{tab}')
send('{Enter}')

It can be transformed into this:

WinWaitActive ("New Compilation")
Send('{tab 4}{Enter}')

They both do the same but the change is only 2 lines without the extra repetition. The Send() page in the helpfile has a number of tricks to learn.

Cheers Mhz
Ill take your advise and alter my script thanks again
I did look at the Send() page
I wish there were more egsamples like the winzip install tutorial
I like to try things rather than keep asking for help you learn by your mistakes that way.
I taught my self Studiomax from just following tutorials and reading up
