I wrote these programs/scripts using AutoIT. I wrote them to satisfy a need that I couldn't find on another freeware, so I'm sure these programs are not unique. Most of these programs are to be used in batch files in a DOS environment. These are the programs, a brief explanation of what they do and sometimes why I did it.

CloseAllWindows.exe: This program will close all open Windows. (I had a 
program that will open dozens of DOS windows and I will have to close 
each one individually).

ConsoleProgressBar.exe: This program shows a “fake” progress bar in 
a DOS window (I use it when I run "silent" installations).

CreateRestorePoint.exe: It creates a restore point with an optional 
description (I use it when I install "dangerous" programs).

PleaseWait.exe: It waits or pauses for specific time. The time remaining 
is shown in seconds.

PleaseWait_2.exe: Same as PleaseWait.exe but the remaining time is shown 
in the format hh:mm:ss

RecreateWMP_DB.exe: It deletes the Windows Media Player database. So if 
your WMP database is corrupted, the easiest solution is to delete it. It 
will be automatically recreated next time you launch WMP. This deletes 
ONLY the database, not your files.

SearchNReplace.exe: It searches and replaces text in a specific list of 
files. (I wrote this one when I had to replace several IP addresses in 
hundreds of INI and BAT files in a network drive.)

TurnMonitor.exe: It turns ON/OFF your monitor.

WProgressBar.exe: This program shows a “fake” progress bar. You can 
have one that it moves back and forth continuously, you can show a 
specific percentage and you can turn it off when you are done.

WUnitConverter.exe: It is like a calculator that shows the equivalent
in metric system (do you want to know your weight in kilograms? How 
hot is 26 centigrade?,

W_Version.exe: It returns the version of a specific file (not 
necessarily the application version.)
