    Hey all,

    I am wondering if there is any Automator(MacOSX)-like software for windows. I use it at work and it comes really handy in doing simple repetitive tasks.

    Do you know any such thing?

    Tnx!

    Hi qhn, tnx for ansewring.

    These options demand something more than simple expertise with command lines (I come from the DOS era, so I know what a command line is :) ).
    Yet I was looking for something as easy to set up as the automator :)

    Tnx!

    Not sure what Automator is cause I never owned a MAC but I use AutoIt and it works great for me and it's free!

    AutoIt is cool, but as OP mentioned, Automator allows one to drag and paste and not worrying about "codeing".

    GUI automatic scripter :D

    cheers ...
