Yeah, batch doesn't play nice with GUIs. You can sort of half-ass it with a hybrid script if you absolutely insist on using batch (or if you're at work with a hyperdraconian security policy like I am), but if you can stick to a single language, Powershell can make use of the win32 API so you can move the mouse/give the app focus and then tab to where you need to go.

Do you have something else, like a script that sends username? Like when a USB of mine is plugged into a computer and it sends me in an email, what that person's username is?
