AutoIntern for Windows

Improve control of your system and automate many tasks with this powerful tool, but the program's muscle will cause trouble for unprepared users.

AutoIntern's simple spreadsheet-style interface cleanly displays information. Nonetheless, you're going to need to read the well-written help file before jumping headfirst into this program. Too many of AutoIntern's settings and functions could cause system instability if improperly set. We found our first hurdle when an error message directed us to make security setting changes. Although the process was well explained, the changes are best understood by power users.

The program's calendars of events are easily changed and simple to share among users. Creating an event is greatly helped by the numerous samples, and most events use simple wizards and include information about options. Events can be tested without difficulty, and AutoIntern's help function usually directs users to possible script problems. The Windows Interface Language scripting functions are well explained and should be easy for most advanced users to quickly learn.

We wouldn't recommend this utility for any user who isn't very comfortable changing security settings or altering services. Other than some simple setup hurdles, our testers found that AutoIntern is easy to learn, simple to control, and powerful when properly used.
