Use dxFriend to create 'scripts' allowing you to automatically perform a wide variety of steps and tasks you normally have to do manually. When you run a dxFriend file, you can have it open multiple programs for you at once, set their size and positions on the screen, send keystrokes to those windows, open other Windows special control panel and dialog boxes, capture screenshots, open Outlook Express with a specific identity, and a lot more.
dxFriend works with most of today's shells and desktop enhancers. Simply link to the .dxFriend files you create using DesktopX, ObjectBar, LiteStep, NextStart, or even good ol' Windows. You can even use Windows scheduler to link to .dxFriend files to automate tasks while you're away from the computer.
