Creating various Macros for Windows

Hello everyone.

There is a lot of little things that i do everyday on my pc, many times and its pretty annoying doing them manually all the time. ( i aint lazy, my mom had me tested )

So i was wondering, is it possible to make a macro to do these things?

They range from, disabling/enabling a certain network adapter/ connecting to x or y network.
When i start folding, to press a button and change from auto to manual fan curve in msi afterburner.
Changing default audio output device.
And some more..

Hey there. You are looking mighty fine today, have my virtual cookie!  :ph34r:

Auto Hotkey should have you sorted, the only problem is that you either have to find the code or make it yourself.

If you look at VBScript you can actually emulate the pressing of keys, if you wrote down all the keys you have to press to do the task then you could just run the script which will do it for you. Admittedly I am fairly certain it can't hold a button while pressing another which limits you a fair amount. Failing that it is much simpler to do with a mouse with macros. I have a Roccat Kone XTD and with it I have managed to emulate tasks such as me putting my computer into sleep by pressing one button. That's probably the best solution if there isn't a perfect program, but you have to pony up if you don't have the hardware!

I can do that with the Logitech software but im looking into more specific stuff, like turn a network device on or off or connecting to that network and blabla
