You need AutoIt from http://www.autoitscript.com
It's a brilliant tool.

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 all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required!
AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably automate and configure
thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex
expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.
Features:
* Easy to learn BASIC-like syntax
* Simulate keystrokes and mouse movements
* Manipulate windows and processes
* Interact with all standard windows controls
* Scripts can be compiled into standalone executables
* Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
* COM support
* Regular expressions
* Directly call external DLL and Windows API functions
* Scriptable RunAs functions
* Detailed helpfile and large community-based support forums
* Compatible with Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT4 / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 2008
* Unicode and x64 support
* Digitally signed for peace of mind
* Works with Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC)
AutoIt has been designed to be as small as possible and stand-alone with no external .dll
files or registry entries required making it safe to use on Servers. Scripts can be compiled
into stand-alone executables with Aut2Exe.
Also supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX that allows you
to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite scripting or programming
languages!
Best of all, AutoIt continues to be FREE - but if you want to support the time, money and
effort spent on the project and web hosting then you may donate using the link to your left in
the menu.
