I’ve never endorsed a product on my blog before, but after having spent the last 3 hours writing scripts with this product, and seeing the power that it gives me as a developer, I want to make sure as many people get to see this as possible.

AutoIt is a simple tool that can simulate key presses, mouse movements and window commands

AutoIt is a simple tool that can simulate key presses, mouse movements and window commands (maximize, minimize, wait for, etc.) in order to automate any windows based task (or even windowed DOS tasks). It was primarily designed to assist in automatically installing software that cannot be automatically installed by other means. This is most useful during a PC roll out where hundreds or thousands of client machines need to be automatically installed. However, AutoIt is not limited to software installation and can be used to automate many simple or complex windows tasks like executing programs,sending keystrokes and mouse clicks, text clipboard functions, registry functions and more.

So far I’ve been able to automate almost every repetitive task that I perform with my software. I’ve scripted the opening of every program I use that requires settings or authentication.
