PTFB Pro runs macros automatically when it starts

By default, PTFB Pro will attempt to run eligible macros as soon as it is launched. In many cases this is appropriate - e.g. many customers use PTFB Pro for unattended operation of their computer, but if you prefer to have some of your macros run only in response to a hotkey for example (or another trigger of your choosing), you can do so as follows:

1) Double click the macro in PTFB Pro's list (or select it and hit "Edit..."
2) Switch to the Triggers page
3) UNtick the option near the top of the page labeled "Trigger when the target window appears" or "Trigger spontaneously"
4) Hit OK to save changes

Note that you can also change the default for this setting so that it is "off" for any new macros you create, via Options -> Configure -> Defaults page.
