Solve : batch file to turn key scrambler on/off?

Answer»

Long story made short: I would love a batch file for quicker access to turn the key scrambler off.

Currently I must "go into Internet Explorer/Tools/Manage Add-ons/scroll down to the proper one, then disable, close", then close that IE window and open a new one to have it take effect.

It seems that I should be able to run a batch file which would accomplish everything within quote marks above. Batch files I can write, but how to get into IE that far ... I'm at a complete loss! Later I'll want one to turn the key scrambler back on, but that's only one word change from the first one.Could the be done will Auto-Key? It is a keyboard macro program.Thanks ... that is something I did not know about, I'll give it a try, but being totally unfamiliar with that I'll have to do some reading and playing with it.

Here is some information. Auto Hot Key is the current version. It is free. It records keystrokes that can be saved and played later. If you have a task the ALWAYS takes the same keystrokes, it will do the job. It sis even possible to skied it as a task and have it stat even whjen the user is not aware that it is TIME to o a certain thing.

AutoKey and AutoHotkey refer to the same thing. In this context.

AutoHotkey is a free, open-source utility for Windows. With it, you can:

Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write a mouse or keyboard macro by hand or use the macro recorder.
Create HOTKEYS for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a HOTKEY.
Expand abbreviations as you type them. For example, typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way".
Create custom data-entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars. See GUI for details.
Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard, joystick, and mouse.
Respond to signals from hand-held remote controls via the WinLIRC client script.
Run EXISTING AutoIt v2 scripts and enhance them with new capabilities.
Convert any script into an EXE file that can be run on computers that don't have AutoHotkey installed.
Getting started might be easier than you think. Check out the quick-start tutorial.

It is a cool product. It can do more than just solve your current problem.
Truce, it is overkill. But why use a rock when a sledgehammer is nearby.
