In summary, the conversation discusses automating a process that involves 4 programs and 1 web page with more than 5 repeating steps. The question is whether a Windows program can handle this task and the suggested solution is using AutoIt. The conversation also mentions using other programs like perl or python to retrieve images from web pages. The category for these types of programs could be "Automation Utilities" and VBScript is also mentioned as a potential solution.

"Automation Utilities" could be a suitable category.

You could search for AutoIt on google and possibly find AutoIt among other similar programs.

You could execute explorer with the webpage as an argument.
For example
explorer "http://www.cnn.com"[/B]

If what you are ultimately after are images on webpages, you might find that writing a script in say perl or python is more efficient. You could parse a webpage for the URLs to the images you want, then retrieve them via the program or else through some external program like lynx or maybe wget.
These programs are available from Cygwin (the unix-like distribution that runs in Windows).

You can always write this sort of program easily using VBScript, but then that all depends on your programming ability.
