Very Very Basic Script?

[Guest BlackDiablo110]

What would a very simple script to open up a program in windowed mode look like? I am guessing that there would be a direct way to open it rather than to have the mouse move to its coordinates on the desktop and then literally double click it to open.

One more thing I wanted to add:

Can you make an autoit script, that would open IE, go to a specified website, and then Download a file? Would that be complicated, or not so hard?

WinActivate ( "title" [, "text"] )

URLDownloadToFile("URL", "filename")

See the AutoIt help file.

Thanks very much for all of your help. Now I am going to go read the help file and try to make my very first script!!! Don't help me at all, but this is what it's going to do:

Start Notepad, and type out, letter by letter, (with 1 second wait time between each letter) and write out something like "Hi, this is my first script!"

Yey!
