DHTML is not an option, I am not the web page developer, it is not exactly third party, but our programmers require approval from upper management for changes and it would affect thousands of people globally. Changes take about 4-6 months.

so yeah, definately not the path of least resistance

Not sure what you're referring to, but I thought vbs had native Win32 access?? Isn't this how I'm accessing the bios, etc?
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")

VBScript was designed by Microsoft to be a "Safe" programming language, meaning that it can only manipulate things through COM APIs. So doing things like moving the mouse around the screen isn't an option. (Compare VBScript to Perl and you will quickly see the difference). The WMI you show is in fact little more than a spiced up database on the computer.

I'm not going to ask any more details on why DHTML is a difficult alternative to user installations and macro's, so I'll drop it at that.

You may want to take a look at the AutoIt scripting language
