ive got a touch screen jukebox. i also have some shadow dancer movies. what i would like to do is find a program where i can have the jukebox and VLC running at the same time. when the screen is idle for say 5 minutes, it brings VLC to the front (identical to an alt+tab) and when the screen is touched it does another alt+tab to bring the jukebox back to the front. im sure its easy enough to write, but its been forever since ive done a windows program and was wondering if it already existed or not

You're specifically asking how to do it without writing software. This isn't software development related. – Adam Robinson Oct 1 '10 at 20:54

There are programs out there that'll do that, but most of them are obscure, old, and pretty much useless.

Spending a couple hours learning the basics of a scripting language like Autohotkey and write a quick script with the help of the command reference is what I would do.

+1 for AutoHotKey, exactly what I came here to recommend – Josh W. Oct 1 '10 at 22:13
