Task automation in Windows

Does anyone know a software product that could help me automate procedures within windows. For instance, I might want to select application A, copy a window, open word then paste the values into word, and save it. Then repeat the process on a fixed interval basis?

Thanks for your help!

I use Workspace Macro Pro

google it for the exact url

 

I can recommend these 2 apps for Windows automation. Both are powerful, popular and free.

1) AutoIt (the original one and still going strong after 7 years). I've used it for quite some time.

2) AutoHotkey (an open-source newcomer, based on AutoIt's source code)

See reviews of both here:

It'd probably be hard to go wrong with either one.

 

I use this. It will save your macros as .exe files and run at specified time with Windows Task Scheduler, if you like.

Thanks Gnome.....That is a great little tool, and it fits the bill perfectly.

Thanks again!

The standout of macro programs:

Macro Express

www.macroexpress.com

 

I'll second that. Coolest thing since sliced bread.

I've been playing around with Macro Express for about a month now and have found it pretty useful and user friendly. One question I do have that I have yet to figure out is if it's possible for Macro Express to read the values off of your level 2. Has anyone found a way of doing this?
Appreciate the help.

 

I've used www.winbatch.com for quite sometime, and can recommend it.

But I'll admit macroexpress looks quite good too.

 

Are you aware if winbatch allow you to read level 2 values?
