The only way that I can see to do it would be to create an AutoIt script

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for 
automating the Windows GUI and general scripting.  It uses a combination of 
simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in 
order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other 
languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys).  AutoIt is also very small, self-
contained and will run on 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003 out of the box 
with no annoying "runtimes" required!  You can even make compiled 
executable scripts that can run without AutoIt being installed!  

AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably 
configure thousands of PCs, but with the arrival of v3 it has become a 
powerful language able to cope with most scripting needs.
