AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required!

AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.

Features:
– Easy to learn BASIC-like syntax
– Simulate keystrokes and mouse movements
– Manipulate windows and processes
– Interact with all standard windows controls
– Scripts can be compiled into standalone executables
– Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
– COM support
– Regular expressions
– Directly call external DLL and Windows API functions
– Scriptable RunAs functions
– Detailed helpfile and large community-based support forums
– Compatible with Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win7
– Unicode support
– Digitally signed for peace of mind
– Works with Windows Vista’s User Account Control (UAC)

AutoIt has been designed to be as small as possible and stand-alone with no external .dll files or registry entries required making it safe to use on Servers. Scripts can be compiled into stand-alone executables with Aut2Exe.

Also supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX that allows you to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite scripting or programming languages!

Do you want a better way to search your computer? When you receive a hard drive or memory stick with hundreds or thousands of files, how long does it take you to comprehend what is there?

Imagine being able to copy the contents of Windows Explorer, so that you can then search, filter and annotate files and folders more easily, save the results of your searches, and email them to whoever you want.

Imagine no more. Introducing Filecats Explore, a cataloger which enables you to harness Windows Explorer in tabular form.

With just two clicks from inside Windows Explorer, Filecats Explore imports the Windows Explorer information into a self-contained table, together with hyperlinks, allowing you to catalogue, investigate and export the results.

Investigate newly-received files, index your existing files, or catalog information you are sending out, helping you with your ISO 9001 requirements.

Filecats Explore allows:

1. Easy to use, yet powerful – sort the information by date or extension; apply filters; create analyses similar to Excel Pivot Tables with just two or three clicks – summarise your data by extension, or date by day, week, month or year, and obtain the total number of files and total size.

2. Open-box system – all the information can be copied and pasted into your favourite application or emails. For there, you can annotate or share the information.

3. Permanence – copying and pasting enables you to create a permanent record of your information.

4. Speed – especially for multiple searches, the search facility in Windows can be slow. On a fast computer, Filecats Explore can catalogue tens of thousands of files per minute. In one instance, 290,000 files were catalogued in 2 minutes.

Try it for yourself for a 7-day free trial, and see how much more efficient you can become; how much time you can save. For more features, try Filecats Metadata, which extracts several hundred additional columns per file.

Do you want a better way to search your computer? Do you need more information than what is shown in Windows Explorer? How long does it take to really understand the contents of a newly received hard drive or memory stick with hundreds or thousands of files?
Imagine being able to copy the contents of Windows Explorer together with additional file properties into Excel, so that you can then search and annotate files and folders more easily, save the results of your searches, and email them to your colleagues.
Imagine no more. Introducing the cataloger and metadata extractor Filecats Professional for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, which enables you to harness Windows Explorer in your existing Microsoft Excel program.
With just a few clicks from inside Windows Explorer, import the Windows Explorer columns and more into Excel, together with hyperlinks for opening the files directly from your spreadsheet.
Using the familiar Excel features, catalog your files or a CD or hard drive that you are sending out. Create a permanent record, helping you with your ISO 9001 needs. Understand new files sooner.
In addition to the standard columns, Filecats Professional can also import additional document properties (metadata) such as:
1. Author, Date Last Printed, Word Count, PowerPoint Slide Count, Template and Internal Total Editing Time from Microsoft Office documents.
2. Picture dimensions, camera make and model, and GPS co-ordinates from pictures and photographs.
3. Bit rate, frame count, album name, track number and recording time from Audio/video files, and
4. E-mail recipients, dates, attachment names, read/delivery receipts, Task percentage complete, Outlook version, and the email text body from MSG files.
Filecats Professional is easy to use, yet powerful enough to save you so much time and frustration. Try it for yourself for free, and save time, find additional information, and become more efficient. No Excel? Try Filecats Metadata instead.
