Script56.chm should be installed on your machine. It's the compiled help file for VBScript. Check out the sendkeys method of the Shell object. You should be able to write a VBScript to handle this chore.

Good luck  8)

Note: VBScript has been installed with Windows since Win95C. If you cannot find the help file you can download it here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=01592C48-207D-4BE1-8A76-1C4099D7BBB9&displaylang=en)
