re your PM:
one example of a program that automates windows tasks
http://www.macroexpress.com/
- some in this forum use it so you might get some help if you need it
- it is around $20-30 dollars to buy (USD?)
- trial available???
- it is not 100% 'programming free' so it does have an 'learning'
entry price
- a lot of basic tasks can be done without programming though
- at a basic level it functions like a macro in excel (turn it on,
give it a name, record your actions like a video, click on the name
and it replays the video
It would be overkill for what you want to do but it has other uses.
