(In your opinion) - What is the best IDE supported lanauage in the Windows environment that is capable of sending system events to change system options (e.g. change the time the computer sleeps from 5 to 10 minutes), or are sending these types of commands to Windows not supported such as they are under linux (whereas you could make a call to the system
with the appropriate command)?
e.g.

system("clear") ;

When talking about windows ask the guys who know it best, Microsoft.

You need to stick to Microsoft technologies.

If you want it easy, I'd stick with C/C++ for this kind of thing. You could do it in VB.Net or C# (or IronPython, etc.) but then you'd need to deal with the managed/unmanaged code differences.
