There's the Windows Recorder, but you couldn't edit the recording, and it
took me more trouble to run the recording script than it did to click the
actual program.

With my DOS programs, I could select a menu option from my batch file, take
a shower, and come back to collect my email. Over the years, I had pretty
much automated everything that was done repeatedly. With Windows, I have to
log on, click different programs, and watch over it for 5 minutes in order
to collect my email.

Oh, that's why files sometimes wind up on my "Documents" folder, and
sometimes don't.
