    You want to edit a binary executable file that is part of the system security setup?

      I want turn off some of the options in win7 Action center via script. So i want to access that file. It can be accessed through VB Script. I can able to solve the issue by VB script (It's like keyboard macro).

      But in some environment it's not supported. So i really want that run as a real script and not like keyboard macro.

        So, you don't want to edit the file, but rather, run the program contained in the file and manipulate the dialog it displays.

        Perhaps if you posted the VB code here, then someone might be able to help you write an equivalent Win32::OLE script.

        Alternatively, it might be possible to do what you want using Win32::GuiTest.

        But in some environment it's not supported.

        I find it strange that a company would restrict access to VB, but allow Perl to be installed.
