Num Lock Email Indicator (AutoIt + Samurize)
I like visual indicators, and I’ve never really seen the point in the num lock key so one day I decided I wanted to use that light to indicate that I have unread email on my laptop. I used AutoIt and Samurize to get a system working on my laptop. Here’s how”
AutoIt
; NUMLOCK ON
Send("{NUMLOCK on}")
SoundPlay("click.wav",1)
;NUMLOCK OFF
Send("{NUMLOCK off}")I used autoit to create two exe’s. One that turns on the numlock and plays a sound. One that Turns off numlock.
Samurize
I then used the gmail.dll plugin to check my gmail account. I then create two numeric alerts that trigger the exe’s I created above.

Here’s the source code, exe’s and sound file:
