Thank you so much for the replies experts. I will check them out.

I intend to automate PC tasks of this type -
- Opening up the Encrypted Files on my pc, by automatically launching true crypt, locating the drive locations and entering the passwords.
- Automatically opening up the web browser, with 10 different tabs, having specific websites opened up.
- Automatically running the PC clean up routine - like running cc cleaner, updating the antivirus and malware-bytes etc.
- Automatically opening up my Trading Software and downloading the latest data into it

And then I also intend to use it for doing some automation work related to Excel sheets as well. Although Excel Macros might be better solution for that. I will see which option suits me better, after doing practical experiments.

Thanks a lot
Should I provide any more clarification about the requirements ?

Not needed for my recommendation of AutoHotkey. I stick by it with those requirements. It even has native support for the Component Object Model (COM), so you'll be able to do the automation work related to Excel worksheets in AutoHotkey rather than Excel macros (and Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, etc.).
