Is this possible? Price Checking tool

Wondering if it is possible to create a macro script to search various online sites for product pricing. We have several contracted vendors, plus purchase from a couple of non-contracted vendors. I'm trying to figure out how to search across all of these at the same time to find best pricing rather ...

I got this to work, if anyone is interested. Took out the Release LWinkey and Release RWinkey statements and reworked the focus app and kill script sections. Here's what I have now. Any streamlining suggestions would be appreciated. Run Program>c:\program files\stats\complab.exe OnEvent>KEY_DOWN,VK9...

Disable/Enable Windows key on the fly w/no reboot?

Is there any way to disable the Windows/Start Menu key via Macro Scheduler? And then re-enable it? I know that there are a couple of registry tweaks that will do it, but it requires a reboot to activate. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: After a user logs into the computer, a special application...

I ended up going a completely different way with this. Fortunately Defrag offers a command line utility that works nicely. Let>RP_Wait=1 Run Program>defrag c: Let>RP_Wait=1 Run Program>defrag d: This seems to work fine. I never could get the other script to properly recognize the pop up dialog, clos...
