I'm not sure. I assume you could use the win32ole module that ships
with ruby 1.8 [1], or perhaps one of the third-party win32 modules
[2]. But I have no idea how. Maybe someone who knows about ruby +
win32 can help (Daniel Berger?). You could also probably write a
little C extension to call the windows API, but that may be more work
than necessary. Sorry I can't be of more help.
