    I'm using WinTask to run a macro for something. I need it to start over as soon as it finished. I just downloaded it a couple of minutes ago so I really only know the basics. I only need it for one task today (a long and boring one at that).

    Thanks if you can help!

    Nevermind, I added:

    repeat

    at the top and 

    until 1=2

    at the end, it's crude, but it works.

    Thanks anyways, love you SU and SO!

    automation - What's a good macro recorder for Windows?
  • Guillaume

    I'm looking for a tool that can record everything I do with my mouse/keyboard and playback recorded sessions. I've found some softwares that can replay macro using a script but none that can also record a session.

    I remember that my old 'mac classic' was able to do that 20 years ago. Can't I do that now?

    The solution should be free and support Windows XP.

    Many thanks.

    You can try this one: http://www.macro-recorder.com/

    It's also working on Windows 7!

    AutoHotkey is a very good macro recorder.

    The best commercial one we tried is Jitbit Macro Recorder. It can even compile macros to EXE files.

    Also, there's a comparison article over at Wikipedia: Comparison of macro recorder software

    Early versions of Windows included a free macro recorder, but this seemed to be unstable if used on later editions.

    About five years ago we had considerable success with MacroScheduler from MJTnet. This will enable you to record sessions, and also allow you to edit the session as a script - great for optimizing and tweaking a recorded macro.

    Unfortunately it isn't free, but for our purposes we considered it excellent value for money. There is a trial version available. See: http://www.mjtnet.com/macro_scheduler.htm

    I've used Macro Express for years and would be lost without it. It is not free though.

    Eventcorder is a good one, but I can't get it to work on Vista, but it works fine on WinXP. It's functionality is like Jitbit. I think version 2.0.44 is still free.

    If you already have MS-Office there's a macro recorder built in. I'm not sure how much it works with things outside the Office world though.
