Now let’s move on to the step-by-step on how to create a script that automates your login to any website using Internet Explorer .
First, I’m going to choose a site most of us know as “Facebook”, but remember that you can use this tutorial for just about any website.
The shortcut file:
We start by making a new script
Now if you have AutoHotkey installed you can skip step one from this list.
How to create a new script:
- Download and install AutoHotkey.
- Right-click an empty spot on your desktop or a folder of your choice.
- From the menu that appears, select New -com”
Automatic interaction with a website:
Facebook is an html document that is now loaded in the object of the web browser
So, in order for us to automate this site, we’ll need to pass through the document object
Like this “web_browser.document”
Now is the time to automatically enter our username and password
For this, we will need to know which input fields to use
This can be done with other script tools or the browser’s built-in tools
This time we’ll use the IE browser’s “DOM Explorer” tool
To do this, manually open an Internet Explorer browser and go to Facebook
p>
Now press the right mouse button on the “Email or phone” field and choose
the “Inspect element” item from the drop-down menu that appears
This will open the Explore “DOM” subwindow explorer”
In this window you will see a line that is selected
that looks like this

Try it out:
To use your new script, proceed as follows:
- Save and close the file.
- Double-click the file to open it.
To find, exit, or edit the sequence a command prompt, right-click the green “H” icon in the notification area of the taskbar.
Notes:
- Scripts like this can also use exita pp as the final line so you don’t have too many scripts running simultaneously, as each one will have its own icon in the taskbar notification area.
- The user can also enter the username and password at startup, as seen in the compiled exe below.
- To have a website start and log you in automatically when you start your computer, create a shortcut to the script file in the Startup folder of the Start menu.
