<description><![CDATA[The macro program I use measures x-y positions from the current window, which is fine for getting to the File menu of that window. If it measures only x-y for the whole screen, then, yes, if the window is in a different position, there might be a problem.

AutoIT and AutoHotKey are probably more flexible, but aren't for novice users. But someone with a bit of programming experience might find them easier for certain tasks.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I tried this macro recorder hoping that it would be faster than me. Wrong. The application I was using went through the web to start. As soon as the web started the macro stopped, even though I recorded it. I tried it three times. It was more bother than it was worth.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Unbelievable how much misinformation is written here again, and I find it scary that one says something completely wrong, and every one else jumps on that and voila - thats how (deadly) rumours are created! People, when will you wake up from the sleepy followership of the mass consciousness and instead start to use your own intelligence?? It is bloodcurdling how much nonsense fills most of the comments.

@2 fandy - This is not a video/audio recorder or screencapterer. It is a macro recoder, this is not for media files but for automation of recurring tasks.

@ 11 Zeur - and everyone else jumping on this false statement without even having made your own judgement
This program does NOT require an internet connection. It only does, if you have (maybe unconsciously playing with it) created a macro script that you have included a command to open a URL - if you want a macro to open a URL of course it needs internet or how else can the browser open a URL. And it needs intenrnet for the one time activation after installation (which is actually the GAOT wrapper which needs internet). Otherwise Easy Macro Recorder never asks for internet connection.

@14 Corec - and everyone else jumping on this - this program is NOT a keylogger. It is NOT able to log your data and send them to the developer, this is total BS. It does not log keystrokes. It RECORDS your keystrokes (huge difference) if, and ONLY when and while you hit the record button because you want to record certain keystrokes in a macro in order to replay this macro later. You don't record your password, don't you?? You record for example any hotkeys you use for certain tasks etc. It stops recording the moment you enter the "stop" hotkey, it writes the records into the script, that you name and save yourself and you can open this script with notepad and look whats inside. 
This BS about "internet and keylooger" etc, is like saying, a voice recorder is dangerous because it secretly listens to what you say all day and sends it via internet to someone else. But if you record your voice you do that by pressing the record button and on finishing you press the stop button, you have your record anywhere in your player and your recorder cannot "secretly" send anything, as it does not run if you don't record.

Its not a shame not to know what something is and does (like a macro recorder) but it's a shame, to judge about something you don't know what it even is, to create statements based on wrong assumptions and to blindly follow others who does.

So, had to vent as sometimes the misinformed comments really flood the banks here. 

As for Easy Macro Recorder, I use it myself since about 2 years (oh and its not buggy btw, #27) and have it do a couple of automated tasks on every system startup. I love it, because its easy, fast, uncomplicated and its a decent little app which just closes itself after running the macro. Its reliable and has never had any bug all the time.
Sure, there are more complex apps for that, and there is AutoHotkey - which cannot be compared with Easy Macro Recorder at all. Creating macros with AutoHotkey is not easy and requires a longer learning curve, nothing for for people who don't have time or patience or don't want to deal with script languages. While Easy Macro Recorder does not only have the ability to record mouse and keys, but also offers a couple of ready made commands that you only need to double click, like opening programs, URLs, determine the window state of an opened program (for example have it start with minimized window) etc.
And it does also include the specification of the delay in millisends or seconds before/after or between several tasks.

For more complex tasks I too use WinAutomation.
But Easy Macro Recoder is a little tool for small every day jobs.
It does what it says and does it good.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Based on the comments left and what the program sounds like I did not install.  I use AutoHotKey's AutoScriptWriter to automate my tasks.  It allows me to record the windows position and not just a position on the screen.  With a little bit of programming I can tailor it to meet my needs, though in many cases I don't have to change a thing.  It's just nice to be able to if I want to.  Though the AutoScriptWriter doesn't have the ability to make Hot Keys, with a few key strokes I can add a hotkey to the script after I record it.  Autohotkeys is freeware.  AutoScriptWriter comes with Autohotkeys.  Though you may have to get the .zip file to get it since last time I got the installer had to hunt it down and found it in the .zip file.  Initially released on 11-10-2003 so if there were any security issues one would think they would have been discovered by now.]]></description>

I'm very sorry to hear of your bad experience, but I doubt the malware that got you was downloaded from a site like this one. The developers here have to identify themselves to GOTD before they can offer their stuff &amp; receive compensation. Besides, GOTD checks all offers with malware checkers before offering them to us (as far as I know).

Also, when I tried the program, it didn't try to access the internet as some have reported earlier, according to my firewall.

If you suspect this program (or any program, for that matter) is surreptitiously recording your keystrokes, you should definitely check and run a keystroke detector software to be sure.

See...

http://www.ehow.com/how_4895006_detect-keystroke-logger.html

...for example.

---------------------------------

My test of this program showed it to be too buggy in operation to be very useful except for the simplest tasks. It might be somewhat helpful for an inexperienced computer user. Therefore, IMO, it's not worth $29.95  -- or even $00.00 to me.

Thanks, anyway, GoldSolution Software and GOTD.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Identity theft anyone, it is so easy someone to steal your banking ID and passwords when all that info is recorded and sent out to someone in China, you don't believe it, it happen to me last Spring with similar software. This is even worst, since require internet to be connected all the times and be stored into a hidden file, so you can not delete it at will or there may be a second hidden file that only the developer of this software knows how to get to it. 
I will never ever install something like this ever.]]></description>

My earlier version as installed from GAOTD must have registered wrongly. I now get a message that the trial period has expired.
Most probably my own mistake :-(  I must have thought that it registered automatically myself...
I'll install this version and take better care.

Greetz,

<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, this does not appear to work with my Windows 7 (64 bit). Everything looks fine until I start to record a macro. Nothing happens and can't do a thing except stop recording. I hope I understand the operation correctly, but it seems broken. Sorry, I wanted this to work.]]></description>
