ClickWhen is a software solution that will let you set up an automated mouse click to run on a window after a user-defined period of time.

Meaning what, exactly? Well, with ClickWhen you can, for example, set up your mouse to pause your iTunes music 30 minutes from now by telling it to click the iTunes pause button. In 30 minutes, ClickWhen will activate iTunes and click the pause button. This may sound like a pretty haphazard idea, but ClickWhen is actually pretty smart.

ClickWhen lets you create automated mouse clicks to be performed after a defined amount of time. I put ClickWhen together at the request of a reader who needed to automate a mouse click. It's somewhat of a silly application, but with a little imagination, it can be put to good use.

Usage

ClickWhen works in three simple steps:
· Run ClickWhen with your to-be-acted-on program in the background
· Tell ClickWhen where to click
· Set the timer

ClickWhen is fairly smart. You can minimize or resize the application you want to click, and ClickWhen will be sure to restore the window and resize it to the size it was when you set up the mouse click so that you get the click you expected.

Now, Windows does come with the useful Windows Scheduled Tasks utility for automating stuff you want to do every day, so that's not really what this would be best for. However, if you want to quickly set up a very simple action, whether it's launching an application or pausing your digital music, it's a handy little tool.
