I realise this is a childishly small and simple script, so simple I'm shy to post it. But I find it so useful I thought I'd share it and the idea. It's so simple some of you are probably doing it already.

I have a small list of once-a-month tasks that I like to be reminded about.
I keep them in a CSV file (easy to edit, easy to work with).

The script below reads the CSV file and displays a message box for each item. As I do the tasks, I click the OK button and the next task displays.
I use the Win XP task Scheduler to run the script on the last friday of each month.



Any comments, suggestions and enhancements will be welcome.
I guess one could use this idea to "call" a list of other AHK scripts as well - but I dunno, as I haven't tried it... yet.

Not "childishly small and simple script" at all! Two of my most important ahk scripts are small and simple (sort of).

One is a reminder tool that uses the systray to "nag me" about something that I need to do. I wanted to use the systray because I have virtual desktops and pop-up's are not that easy to notice. It will display a 10 second systray message every 1,2,3,5,10,15 or 30 minutes.

The other is a pop-up menu program launcher with sub-menus by catagory. Alt-right-click and it pops up wherever your mouse cursor is. I used this instead of toolbars to launch applications. AHK Rocks!

Hmmm, I actually hadn't thought of using the systray - clever idea.
Very useful with virtual desktops, too - you're right.

I am toying with the idea of using AHK to email me certain reminders.
I find this command line works for me in my other scripts:



Yup, AHK rocks! I also use it to auto-download/update my anti-virus definitions once a day. Even use it to toggle my iTunes on and off!
