I need software to make a macro that will do the following: (just perform a

1. Start the Windows Zero Configuration service
2. Open "View Available Wireless Networks" - select "Change advanced
settings" - select "Wireless Networks" tab - select "Use windows to
configure my wireless network settings"
I searched (Google) for macro creation software, and only could find
AutoHotKey. I followed the instructions of the page suggesting it - Record
- do steps - Stop - convert marco to .exe - run -- it all works until I
try to run it, it puts an "H" in the bottom corner of the screen by the
clock, and just sits there - right clicking give you the option to stop the
script, resume, or exit. I immediately uninstalled the software, as it
doesn't work. This should be really simple...
(I've tried to stop the wi-fi card software from taking over on start up - I
am not
interested in any help fixing that - I just want a macro to do the key steps
to fix it, that's on my desktop so I can double click it when I need it.)

Antivir reports AutoIt is a virus/trojan. (Setacl.exe)
I just downloaded AutoIt Script Editor addition to the main program -
from http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml
(I downloaded the addition to the script editor to try to get the
program to like like an example I found of using it.)

This may be a false positive. I submitted it to Antivir for
analysis.

Anyway, this software is much more complicated than it needs to be. I
just want to record a couple mouse clicks in a macro. There should be
SIMPLE software to do that.

Windows Scripting Host may do what you want, but you'll have to type in
your commands one time and then save them as a WSH file. It's a
Microsoft program -- Google for it.
