Scripting desktop restore

from Stardock Forums

99.9% of the time, all I want (or need) to do is restore the most recent desktop snapshot. Usually this happens after I have connected, then disconnected an external monitor. In order to do this I have to

  1. Right click on the desktop
  2. select "Configure Fences"
  3. select the "Tools" tab
  4. select the most recent snapshot
  5. click "Restore Snapshot"
  6. click "No. Just restore snapshot"
  7. close Stardock

Is there a way I can script this so that I can setup a hotkey or desktop icon that does this sequence of steps? It seems like a lot of clicking just to do one simple task. I can script in Python, vbScript, AutoIt, or whatever.

There is no way to script this at this time.

Have you tried a macro hotkey program such as http://www.autohotkey.com/  or  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/run-an-access-macro-by-using-a-keyboard-shortcut-HA010239111.aspx ,http://www.fadsoft.net/UltraKeyboard.htm or something along those lines?

A Google search turned up quite a few options there. YMMV
