Let's say you have a program that requires a login
each time you use it - maybe a database or source control application.
If the security angle
isn't
an issue (maybe everyone in the office knows the password, or maybe
you're the sole user), why not let PTFB Pro handle the login for you?
How to do it ...
Next time an irritating dialog or confirmation screen appears :
- Open up PTFB Pro's main window by clicking on its tray
icon
- Click
on "New Macro..." and choose "Window
Macro "
- Click the hand-shaped cursor on the login window and proceed
with the login just as you would normally.
- That's all there is to it!
As
soon as you've entered your name and password into the login screen and
hit OK,
macro
recording will end automatically. Your
new macro is ready
to perform the login for you automatically from now on!
To put PTFB Pro to work, click "Start Watching", or press
the close box in the top-right corner. PTFB Pro will minimize to the
system tray and keep watch for offending windows and dialogs. When they
appear it will handle them for you.
You
may wish to tweak your new macro's settings after you've created it.
For example, you might want to lower the initial trigger delay from the
default
value of 1 second to zero, so that the macro fires instantly whenever
the login window appears.
