  Sure you can use SendKeys method of VBScript.

  but these sort of methods tend to be nightmarish trying to handle all the possibilities of timing and unexpected events.

   Better to find a method to execute the commands directly.

  So what I want to do is flip the screen using the CTRL+ALT+DOWN keys. So far I have

  WshShell.SendKeys "^%{DOWN}"

  What else do I need? and what file format do I save it as?
  

  Thanks for helping me out, I know it is kind of a joke, but I appreciate the help.
