No, all my useless crap is carefully labelled, organised, and put away safely so I can't find it any more!

We have the same storage system the '* me I had one of those!'

Or even "* me, I thought I had one of those - I've got an extra four, now ..."

You'd throw them away but 10 years from now when you need one again you'll have to order another 20!

I'm more:
- after 10 years: 'had these for years and never needed any,' (i.e. spring cleaning): throw them away
- couple of weeks later ...

Exactly, the mere act of throwing them away generates need!

Sell them individually on flea bay for $2 each. Or 2 for $5 ( make sure you state that as a limited time offer)!
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

It was an invisible close bracket - only those without OCD could see it. I swapped it for a regular one ...

Look at it this way: A full parts box is your friend when your parents take your computer away. Be sure to always have a CPU and some SRAMs in it, then they will find out that resistance is far from futile.
Speaking of resistance, some 47k resistors as pullups, 0.1µF capacitors, a 7805 voltage regulator (plus two 100µF capacitors), some glue logic and perhaps a crystal or oscillator would also be nice. You know how the stockpile grows when you know which is the hot end of a soldering gun.

How about full body armor, just in case? Or a Darth Vader memorial breathing mask?

SOLVED ALREADY, I've done a small program in C++ that handles that for me.
The problem was not doing the program itself (which is super easy to do) the problem was getting an executable file that would work in Windows XP.
After a good tip from @Daniel_Pfeffer, I've learned how to configure newer versions of Visual Studio to link for Windows XP.
THANK YOU ALL!
I've seen "Clickoff" and "windows closer by Murgee", but the first one seems not to be capable to click on the message box and press enter afterwards, and the second one can't simply run on windows XP.
I've done a super simple small C++ program that would do that search for window handle, send return there. and that should be it.
The problem is that what is output from my Visual Studio is not compatible anymore with windows xp... (that's why I'm searching for a free application that could do that).
Each 2 or 3 years I get a request that implies opening 3 virtual machines and open a set of files... each time I try to open those files it takes between 30 minutes to several hours. And always appears some messageboxes that need to be confirmed for the process to continue. This leaves me in front of the computer waiting for them...
Thank you all!

Quote: search for window handle
Handle of the MessageBox or handle of the OK Button?
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

It should be the same as the button is the default button on that messagebox...
Do you know any application that would do this?
Thank you.

No, I don't know such an application. As far as I understand you tried to do it by yourslef. I also just tried it and for me it works fine (ok, I did it with c++ builder). The main difference to your approach seems to be you send a VK_RETURN while I'm doing SendMessage(xWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
I hope it helps

The application itself is super easy to do...
I don't want to close the messagebox, I want to accept it, that's why the VK_RETURN.
It works in my computer without much hassle...
The problem is that my version of visual studio doesn't have the right builder options for Windows XP. That's why I'm searching for an app like that...

Put your sourcecode in my profile blog. I will try then to make a native W32 for you

Have not seen how to post it in your blog...
Hope you don't mind I post it here:
#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <windows.h>
#include <winuser.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
LPCTSTR windowName = "Pregunta";
int ims = 10000;
if (argc > 1) windowName = argv[1];
if (argc > 2) ims = atoi(argv[2]);
while (true)
{
HWND hHandle = ::FindWindow(NULL, windowName);
std::cout << hHandle;
std::cout << "\r\n";
if (hHandle != NULL)
{
::PostMessage(hHandle, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_RETURN, 0x001C0001);
::PostMessage(hHandle, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_DOWN, 0x00500001);
}
Sleep(ims);
}
} Thank you for taking time to do this!
PS: the compiler must not be set to unicode to accept this as valid.

Hi again
Finally this does the job in my environement
HWND xWnd= FindWindow(NULL, "DlgWnd");
if (xWnd)
{
int xWatchDogCount= 0;
while(xWatchDogCount++ < 10)
{
HWND xOkBtnWnd = FindWindowEx(xWnd, NULL, NULL, "OK");
if (xOkBtnWnd)
{
PostMessage(xOkBtnWnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_SPACE, 0);
PostMessage(xOkBtnWnd, WM_KEYUP, VK_SPACE, 0);
}
}
}
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question
