Whether you have a temporary or long-term disability, it helps if you can still use your computer — even with only one hand, and sometimes it’s just simpler that way.

Remember Cousin It from the old Addams Family shows or movies? Did he use a computer? Oh, wait — we never saw his hands… so he had to use something hands-off, didn’t he?
Maybe he could use AutoIt, the “freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying “runtimes” required!”
AutoIt is intended to create your own programs to perform Windows tasks with little programs that simulate someone using the mouse and/or keyboard.

What is Konfabulator? Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather. You will need to download the Konfabulator software, and then select the Widget(s) you like. Note: Konfabulator requires Windows XP or 2000, or Mac OS 10.2 or greater — Select whichever download would be the appropriate one for your system.
Use at your own risk!

Keyboard Express is NOT freeware, it is shareware and must be bought. However, it is an indispensable utility for creating macros licensed and used by the Boreham Library staff, very easy to learn and use, and highly recommended for anyone doing repetitious tasks or data that is often repeated.
