AutoIt v3 is a freeware for automating the Windows graphical user interface and common scripting.
This utility is a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movements, and window manipulations, controls to automate tasks in a way that other languages do not do (e.g. VBScript and Send Keys).
AutoIt has been as small as possible and stand-alone with no external .dll files or registry entries required so that it is safe to use on the Server. Scripts can be compiled into stand-alone executables with Aut2Exe.
The AutoIt utility was originally designed to automate and configure thousands of PCs in a “launch” situation. It has evolved into a powerful language that allows complex expressions, user functions, loops, and everything else that experienced scripters would expect.
