My question was in regards to asking for a solution that takes up a cumulative hour or so of my time every-single-day . I am now able to do this in a fraction of the time, thanks to my question. (yeah, I tend to close photoshop because my work computer is slow and I need too many things open at once) The Rules: > Super User is for computer enthusiasts and power users.
