You can use Windows message hooks. You can hook all messages for all
windows.
I made program in C++ which maximized every window of program which was
opened. And everytime escape was pressed current program closed. You can see
it on my C++ site:

Or you can use shareware program Automate, which is made esspecially for
this. Has its own little scripting language ...
