Windows XP Automate the weblogin

[ajRT]

Hi,

I wish to automate the login process of yahoo web mail and schedule it daily at 10am.

In which way we could I do this better?
I have tried to do this by a VB script. I could visit the website through this script but could not provide log in information automatically and log in to the account.

Could any one please let me know how can I go ahead using this script? Or is there any better approach available than using VB script?

For reference, the sample VB script looks like:
Set WebBrowser1 = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
WebBrowser1.Visible = True
WebBrowser1.Silent = True
Dim URL As String
Dim test As String
WebBrowser1.Refresh
URL = "http://www.mail.yahoo.com "
WebBrowser1.Navigate URL

Any inputs on this is highily appriciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Ajay

why not just windows scheduled a task? Most web browsers will take the primary parameter given and assume that it is a web page to navigate to.
