Two freeware questions....

[(RIP) Bin Ridin]

Hi:
Anyone know freeware programs for the following:
Turning off the internet radio channel which I am listening to by LAN after a certain time, like a SLEEP timer?
Automate (hotkey) some text entires, like changing the ip address in my IE set-up screen?
Thanks!

These tasks can be done via scripting. Which is much easier said than done.

If your fairly computer literate, check out: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/os/process/procthd/pcthvb09.mspx as well as other scripts in the MS Script Centre.

If not, you might try: http://www.dirfile.com/autohotkey.htm - might help but its not something ive used mysself.

Warning though, scripts can be hazardous to your health and disasterous if incorrectly used - especially if you are running them over a network. Check first if in doubt.

Hi,
Our IT genius made three .reg files for each of my three IP addresses. Brilliant!
Sleep timer - I found one freeeware one, but it was misbehaving so removed it. Probably could get it right if I persisted.
