Does anyone know of a program that...

[zdwebber]

can automate daily tasks?
Kind of like 'Actions" in Photoshop, where you can press record, do what you want it to do, and then save it for a later date?
That would be a very helpful program, however I dont think one exists, but you never know...

It would be nice to wake up and press a button on the computer, and go and make a cup of coffee.
When I come back I have my stats, trades, etc all up in the browser. I have various programs starting up, I have ICQ convos. opened up and ready.
The list goes on and on.

It would be nice to have a program that you can record actions, and play them back with the press of a button.

This one looks pretty good, though I've never used it.

I remember when terminal programs had macros built in.. pretty cool stuff

Use WinTask, it's the best.

Includes its own scriptlanguage and macrorecorder.

I just spent the last hour and a half searching for a program like this. I found quite a few. However, all of them worked the same way. It would record your mouse movement and clicks.
This isn't a good way.
If the program/window that you open, opens up in a different position on the screen, then it will screw up.
If only there was a program that would actually record what you click and do, instead of just following your mouse.

It looks promising so far, but I'm still trying to figure out how to use it. I noticed in the macro code it has the labels of the buttons that are clicked, on top of mouse movements, so I dont know if this will be the same as the past programs or now.
We shall see.

Downloading now ..

Downloading WinTask...

I like this software idea about his "own" script mode.

It can be very practical.
