When you get to the paper you want - add THAT to your Favourites.
Unless you have an up to date browser, which allows you to store passwords, you
will still have to go through that stage, but at least you should then be at
your paper without having to find it.

At the moment to get a news paper you have to:
1. go o favourites
2. Click address.
3. type in user name and password.
4. now find the paper.
Now if we were receiving the paper by email it's A bit quicker.
But if good old dos was here
Consider what might have been possible with use of bat file.

I'm not sure I follow - so, you have a bookmark with the link of your favourite
paper, and your username and password saved plus autologin if you want.
You drag bookmark to desktop - perhaps it's called "fish monthly" - when your
computer is booted up and logged in, you type "fi" and hit enter and your
browser is started, your site is logged in and your publication loaded
(assuming you don't have more than one shortcut starting "fi" in which case
just type more letters!)
I'm not entirely sure how DOS would speed this process up.
But if you REALLY want to use it, both the DOS prompt and Windows Powershell
are still available in all editions of windows.
