I'm afraid I might be missing something here, but to run a
scan immediately all you have to do is start up the
program, click Tools/Spyware Scan/Run A Scan Now. There's
also a section on the right that says: Run Quick Scan Now,
with "Scan Options" below that. I figure I must be missing
some part of your question because - at least with the
program verion (the latest) that I'm using, it's seems
pretty clear.
 
I know that if you right the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon in the Notification
area, and select "Run a Spyware Scan Now" it is set run a Quick Scan there.

On the Scan Page, if you select the "Full System Scan" button and have "Save
these options" checked, it will choose this mode to scan all the time by
default when you click "Run Scan Now".
 
Sorry it would have helped had I explained my intentions.

I'm in the middle of writing a batch file which will
execute a number of different spyware programs without any
input from a user. The idea is to make spyware removal as
easy as a single double click on this batch file.

I'm stuck on microsoft antispy because I can't seem to find
a way to do a scan without using the mouse to click.

As it seems there are no commandline switches I could use
to accomplish this hands free scan, my next approach was to
start a scan using a number of keyboard strokes.
Unfortately however, there doesn't look to be a way to
initiate a scan with MSAS using keyboard strokes, clicking
seems to be required.
