Girder 3.3

Have you ever found yourself repeating the same actions over and over again?

You're probably doing it without even thinking - by launching your favourite media player, for example, loading a playlist, adjusting the volume, then pressing Play.

Wouldn't it be great if you could perform all of these actions with a single click or key press?

Better still, how about activating such actions from a remote control device or even over the internet?

Girder is a fantastic Windows automation utility that can do all of this and more. Commands are stored in a tree-like structure and are triggered by what Girder calls 'events'.

It can be a little daunting to set up at first, but fortunately Girder is the darling of many enthusiasts who use their PCs as home entertainment centres, and want to emulate the single key-press control of conventional domestic systems.

As such you'll find plenty of web forums offering support and advice on configuring Girder with a vast array of devices.
