Programming Keys

[Guest]

Is there a way to set up one key, or a combination of keys, to always paste a
stored number or name? For example, when I go to a certain site where I have
to enter the same username each time. The site does not offer the option of
storing the username. When I get to the sign in box, I want to be able to
hit one key or combination of keys and paste in the information. Basically, I
am just lazy and hate typing in the long string of numbers each time.

Google "clipboard utilities" or just have a notepad text file with all
the text you use regularly with a shortcut on your Quick Launch bar.

This is the sort of thing you can do with Windows Script Host (eg using the
Sendkeys method to paste text), if you are willing to spend a bit of time
learning a bit of scripting.

or use netscape for your web browsing (it's called something else now,
like firetruck or thunderfart or something, but its good ole netscape).

Hotkey Control XP will do this. Probably lots of others. But for
storing user names and passwords, Roboform is more secure.
