Simple "mouse coordinate click" loop request

[xstansa]

First off: I don't know how to code, or any coding languages, so I'm going to be explaining this in layman's terms, please bear with it. I can at least usually figure out most problems given an example and alot of time but this is puzzling me.

What I have:

I made a simple script to click on the screen at certain coordinates with Au3Record. Works fine in the single iteration it runs. However, I want it to continuously run after I start it, whether when I'm away from my computer for an hour or all day, and be able to be stopped when I get back so I can actually use my computer again. I know this would require some form of loop command in the code. I looked at some examples of different type of loop commands here but it's all Greek to me at this point. The "Do...Until" seems to be the one that would be what I want but I couldn't begin to figure out how to get the "Until" part to work.

Before coming here I had made a shortcut to the script on my desktop and had one of the click command lines to double click to shortcut to ghetto loop it, but its stalling after a while. And to stop my ghetto loop I simply had an empty notepad minimized that would be on top of the shortcut I could just alt+tab to real quick that would eventually stop it once it got to the end.

What I'd like:

Hopefully someone bored and nice enough to provide a simple loop command for a series of mouse clicks that will run "indefinitely" that even my computer illiterate mother can stop when I want control of my computer again.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if my lack of coding skills disturbs you, lol

What the Au3Recorder saved for me with a little time tweaking:
