"Checkout this Stackoverflow article. They provide an AutoHotKey script. If you aren't familiar with AutoHotKey you should be. It is a free application that allows you to automate a ton of things on Windows. I use it for a number of tasks. You can even compile the scripts and then just run the executable. Great for distribution to less tech savvy folks or for running off a thumb drive for portability.
