I have Windows XP Professional. Is it possible to assign a shortcut key, or
create a custom icon, that when activated, will enter a text string into
wherever my cursor is? I'm tired of re-entering my company's user ID in
Lotus Notes, IE, etc., and was wondering if there is a way to automate this.
Thanks for any help.

I've started using autohotkey just recently. I also like it a lot, and
second your recommendation.

I see we do indeed make many of the same typos. :-)
:*: instead of :: means that the to-be-replaced string need not come
at the end of a word. Thus
:*:belive::believe
would match belive, belives, belived (not beliving) but
::hep::help
would match only hep, not heps or heping
