This software can change the way you use your computer for daily and repititive work. Have a look here:

Code:

http://www.autohotkey.com/

Install it, write a code in notepad, save it with .ahk extension.

The help documentation of this is very good for learners with lots of small and easy to understand examples, that give you a rough idea about the features of this software.

Just explore it a little and you will be benefitted beyond your imagination

Have fun, when you begin making scripts, share your tiny scripts if you want to

What i really like is the depth and control over the scripts made by you with this software, i used to download softwares for tiny things, and those softwares did everything except what i needed them to do.

The scripts do exactly what you desire. eg, i usually forgot the important dates and birthdays, now i have a script (though it took little time to make it, as you have to type), that uses SplashImage, date and time functions of this software.

It Splashes an image with text on that date, and it works like a champ, Now i complete fan of Autohotkey

The contents of the message that splashes are a bit personal, but here is the script showing daily date and day.

I hated to hover the mouse over the time at taskbar to know the current date and day.

Script:

Code:

#Persistent
clipboard = %A_DDDD%, %A_DD%, %A_MMMM%, %A_YYYY%
SplashTextOn, 250 ,60 , Today's Date, %clipboard%
WinMove, Today's Date, ,750, 0
WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, Off, Today's Date

These are just few lines and not a script or anything big, but definitely useful for me. Paste it in notepad and save it with .ahk extension (name the file anything you wish).
