My choice for something like this would be Perl, which has modules for this
sort of thing. But that has a big lead time, I guess.
Not sure how much time you have to devote to it, but for similar things, I've
found AutoIT (free tool) has its uses. And it includes somewhere, as I recall
it, a tool which captures Windows actions into a script which you can save and
modify, using its relatively simple language.
