    Windows Macros

    Hello.

    I'm not much of a coder but I'd like to maximize efficiency in my use of Win 2k. I was wondering if there was a way to create macros to perform tasks that I do often. Thanks.

    Well there aren't exactly macros for windows itself but most office apps support macros. For use within windows though you can use batch files (set list of dos commands) to manipulate things and run programs etc. If you can let us know what exactly you're looking to do we can probably help better.

    Note: there are a few programs for windows that memorize mouse movement and keystrokes and can be played back, but that will probably just hog system resources and not make anything more efficient.

    You might look into WSH. Its Microsoft's script stuff.
    I want an OS, not a hobby...
