title: Open a Windows 7 notification balloon from batch file - command line
body: <p>I have simple one-line batch script that loads a wlan profile (xml) to make it easier for our users to connect to our secure wireless network. I still need the users to login, so the profile does not contain user credentials. When the profile is loaded, a Windows notification balloon pops up from the task bar (lower right corner) that says "Additional Information is needed to connect..." as expected. When you click on the balloon, you're given the login credentials pop-up. The title bar of the window is "Windows Security" and the inner title is "Network Authentication. Please enter user credentials". I have seemingly looked everywhere for a way to just open this credentials box instead of the user having to click the balloon. I've run process monitor and I can't find where it adds that balloon to the notification bar. I also cannot find what happens when I click on the balloon and the login prompt comes up. I figured I would be able to add a line to my script that will just skip the click on the notification balloon and bring up the login pop-up. Is it possible to trigger this box? I know I could create my own login box and pass the variables, but I would rather use the native feature if possible. Thank you.</p>
