I use and want to keep using, a program whose publishers have stopped buying SSL certificates for it. I can now only access it in 32bits Win10, as an App in a browser - Chrome -  and Chrome makes it very difficult to access, with constant warnings about security concerns. I have devised a batchfile which calls a macro, to launch the program at StartUp. It sometimes works, but often it fails to apply the correct keystrokes to the Chrome webpage for progress, so that page just hangs until I complete the process manually. I know there are other macro programs besides Macro Express, in particular there is AutoHotKeys which I already use extensively, but only for entering text strings via hotkeys. I'm wondering if I can make the launch more reliable by using other software.

I have no experience with any of those. But when I looked for Macro Express alternatives, AutoHotKey kept coming up - but of course, you already have that.

Throwing the monkey back on you, if one of those fits your needs, please post back here to let others who may also be looking for a good alternative know which one works.
