If you have not seen it yet, let me point out to you a really great macro
and automation program called Quick Macros – it really is the best one
I have found. It makes beautiful (and beautifully behaved) toolbars with
buttons than can be assigned to macros; it makes popup menus and other cool
things, and it does all this, once you have learned the method, in the
easiest and zippiest way possible.

But beyond the toolbar/macro function is a hugely powerful system automation
language that prances through the Windows operating system and simply
eliminates all barriers and logjams. You can, with ease, extend a window menu
with items and icons of your own that look exactly as if Microsoft did it,
and there is a sample script included that accomplishes this feat for
Notepad – easily! This language is thoroughly documented and wonderfully
easy to use, unlike the stinkingly complicated (and deliberately obscure)
Windows API call system, and the scripts formed from it operate instantly
and transparently with no visible compilation and usually not much
debugging.

Last night I made a popup menu that opens a dozen different folders, just as
I want them laid out, which pops up when I tap the mouse pointer on the
side of the screen in combination with a key press. It took me about 20
minutes to create the menu, starting from absolute ignorance, just by
studying a sample popup obligingly included when the program is installed
and by reading the brief but illuminating explanations of the required
language elements. Today I could create a similar menu in about three
minutes, so easy is it to do, and the odds are that I will soon create a
dozen such menus to speed up the tiresome rituals of the Windows interface.
Really, Microsoft could have a look at this program and its author and learn
something.
