[Skimmertalk] Start Skimmer and Start Radio

Here's an AutoIt script that starts Skimmer and clicks on Skimmer's 
"Start/Stop Radio" button to start Skimmer running automatically.

     Run("C:\Program Files\Afreet\CwSkimmer\CwSkimmer.exe")
     Sleep(60000)
     WinActivate("CW Skimmer")
     WinWaitActive("CW Skimmer")
     ControlClick ( "CW Skimmer", "", "TToolBar2", "left",1, 7, 11 )

I have a shortcut to a compiled version in my Startup file so Skimmer 
starts decoding signals whenever I turn on the computer.  It works on my 
computer under XP and assumes Skimmer was installed in the default 
directory.

You can get AutoIt at http://www.autoitscript.com/  It's free.

I'd be happy to email a copy of the .exe file to anyone who doesn't want 
to play with AutoIt. It is 255 KB.

No guarantees - I'm not a real programmer - but it works for me.
