FLASH: Using FSCommand to automate in standalone

[ComposiMo]

Ok, here is a new one on me. One of my long-time clients just called me, and 

he had an interesting question. He has several employees that do 

presentations using only powerpoint. Now, when his "presenters" load up 

powerpoint, they have to go through a series of simple keystrokes to get 

powerpoint started, such as loading the ppt presentation, checking and 

changing the default screen, then hitting the F5 key to start the ppt 

presentation on the secondary monitor (in this case a projector). Now, some 

of these guys arent exactrly computer savvy, so here is the question. Using 

Flash, and the FSCommands for a standalone player, is it possible to make a 

CD with the .inf autorun, and a .exe that performsx the keystrokes for the 

presenter, and when it is finished performing the keystrokes have it either 

"auto-quit" or have it stop and hide in the background? I know i could build 

one that would automatically run the .ppt presentations, but i dont know how 

to make it "press" F5 and switch to the next one (there are 3 presentations 

that will need to be loaded in a certain order)

If anyone knows how this could be accomplished, please let me know.
