Help Needed with Windows Programming

Question

I need to write scripts / apps which will invoke common Windows Dialogs such as the Map Network Drive box Task Manager and delete Tasks which are not responding Invokved Screen Display PropertiesInvoking the Internet Options box.. etc. Would C# be the way to tackle this? Or should I be looking at scripting languages ? Any help would be great.

C# can do it but it will involve some serious messing about with the Win32 API (P/Invoke). Having it done by some simple script running on the Windows Script Host might be a bit tougher though. It doesnt give you access to most of what you require by default. It might work through some serious tossing about but I doubt it'll be as efffective as you'd like it to be. Whichever way you go it's not gonna be an easy task enless you know your way around the win32 API.
