Forgotten the name - pasting CD key shell extension

[Ben]

Hi all,

I'm sure in the last couple of months someone pasted a link to a great
little shell extension with the sole purpose of taking the pain out of
entering CD keys and serials into software installs - it was able to
handle multiple separate text boxes for entry etc etc. Not having a lot
of luck on Google archives, anyone remember anything about it?

Thanks!

Not specifically. I do this on my own computer using a little AutoIt
script. The script does other things, but here's the relevant parts:

If Not HotKeySet('^d', 'Plug') Then
$RC = MsgBox(1, 'Catch', 'HotKey could not be set (^d)!', 30)
If $RC = 2 Then Exit
EndIf
While $TRUE
Sleep(1000)
Wend
Exit

Func Plug()
Local $I
Local $CDKEY = ClipGet()

$CDKEY = StringReplace($CDKEY, "-", "")
Sleep(1000)
$I = 1
While $I <= StringLen($CDKEY)
If StringMid($CDKEY, $I, 2) = @CRLF Then
Send(@CR)
$I = $I + 1
Else
Send(StringMid($CDKEY, $I, 1), 1)
EndIf
Sleep(66)
$I = $I + 1
Wend
EndFunc   ;==>Plug

I just copy the CD key to the clipboard, then press Control-D to paste
it. Works great.

AutoIt (freeware, of course) available at http://www.autoitscript.com.

Excellent! Thanks for that I'm pretty sure someone had a neat
little gadget that added something like "Paste CD Key" to the context
menu, but this will do nicely if my brain doesn't kick back into gear
and remember the name.
