Windows 10: Automate Tasks

Hey, bit of a long shot but always worth a try. Pretty much I'm needing some software to automate repetitive tasks on a locked down work PC that can't have software installed. I'm assuming if it was possible the device or software would have to pretend it's a mouse or keyboard to my work laptop from another device in order to carry out these tasks?

Needing this software to pretty much copy a cell in excel, paste this into a field on a Web page, select a couple of buttons on the Web page, type text into a field and then start again.

Any ideas on software or a device I could purchase?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions

Automation of tasks in Windows

Hi Guys,

There is a specific task that I would like to automate on a laptop with Windows 10:

The situation is as follows: .zip file is downloaded to folder Download. Now I want the following to happen automatically:

1. Extract the .zip file to folder Extracted
2. Delete the .zip file from folder Download

I have already searched on Google but from what I understand it doesn't do it automated. One still has to push a button or type some command to execute it. I would like this to be automated. Anyone ever done this?
