VBScript that would disable the Microsoft print pop up screen
Would like two VBScripts:
The first would disable the Microsoft print popup
The second VBScript should re-enable the print popup
- By popup I mean the screen that ask about how many pages to print...

By right clicking on lets say five files and selecting print your are immediately prompted with five dialog boxes. I would like to eliminate the five dialog boxes if possible.

Although the above is mentioned for the WebBrowser control, it should still be relevant if you're trying to print through the DOM. I don't believe you'll be able to disable the dialog and if you can, it would probably just lead to more problems.

Normally, print dialog can't be disabled. A clever tirck will be to have them printed by the associated program. Most apps support a '/P' switch and that should work for you.
YOu can Shell out to the OS with the program associated witht the file that is selected in the explorer. For example, if there is a text file selected, you have to launch Notepad, if a .Doc file is selected, you will launch MS Word.
Algo:
Do while more documents to process
Get file extension
Get associated program from registry
Shell out to the program with '/P' switch (Causes the program to background print the document without displaying the Print dialog)
Loop

Can you be more specific about this popup (dialog box)? I think I know what you're talking about, but when you tell a program to print, at least through the File->Print menu, you see the printer options dialog box because this is how the program is written. I don't know of any system-wide setting that will disable this and print without a dialog box. Most programs do not show this popup if you click the print command on their toolbar... Perhaps I am thinking of something totally different here?
