  1. BINGO. I've figured out what happened: Basically, I've been changing the macro launch buttons to 0-9 numerics versus default A B C D E etc etc. Now pressing 0-9 using the regular number on the keyboard works without pressing ENTER. However, I've been using the keypad's 0-9 on the right side of the keyboard. In the Original Macro Express 3 it worked fine. However, for some reason in the new macro express 4 Pro version you need to press ENTER after using 0-9 keypad numbers. I am wondering if there is a way to make the 0-9 from the keypad work without ENTER. I hope this is a fixable "bug?"
  2. Hi Cory, Thank you for your response. First I want to say that I agree with you that the best form of anti malware / spyware is prevention and I believe that I use very safe practices to minimize threats. At the same time, I still would like to utilize the most secure methods of password inputting if possible. This leads me to wonder if there is any way to integrate these "spyware defeating methods" used by those filling programs into Macro Express 3. I just think that would be a great additional security feature.
  3. For example, theres a program called Roboform that has a password filling feature that is supposed to be safer than manually typing in your password for websites. http://www.roboform.com/anti-keylogger.html "..Quick Typing. Roboform enters password quickly and it presses Submit button quickly, so many keyloggers will not be fast enough to get web page password from the page..." What about using Batch files or ME Macros? I mean would it be safer or more vulnerable to use a batch file or a macro to input your password into a program, for example TrueCrypt password prompt. For example: If I were to mount a TrueCrypt container, it would pop up a password promt in which I would have to manually enter in my password. Now, would it make it any more or less safe using a macro or batch file to mount my TrueCrypt container? Example: Create a batch file that uses TrueCrypt command line feature to mount my container. Note: This is assuming that no malware or user can access your batch files or macros that would contain your password/s. I want to find out if there are any vulnerabilities to using batch files or macros while they are running. (Hypothetical example: using bat files=> copies ur password somewhere that is insecure that manually typing doesn't do.) (Also: I use Windows XP)
  4. Hi Kevin, I have not heard anything from Macro Express.... What's the status on my issue?
  5. Hi Cory, yes it seems that there is something wrong with my Macros Express because it Does require me to press enter. I am wondering if this problem / bug has anything to do with using Original Macro Express 3's MEX file and upgrading it to a Pro .MEX file...
  6. Example: If my working folder right now is D: drive, and in the future (or on another PC) my working folder is E: drive, Instead of changing all my macro directories from D:=> E: (Which could take a long time) Is there a way to create a GLOBAL variable, for example %A1% => where you can change it from D: to E: etc etc. without having to change the drives in all the macros? This way, instead of using D: or E: in each and every macro, you can just substitute %A1% which can easily be changed... (Okay this is separate from ME3 but if possible this would be very useful also!) What about for .BAT Files? Is there a way for .BAT files to use a Global .Bat file variable? Example: Start.Bat Contains: "D: CD\MyWorkingFiles MyProgram.exe" Instead of using D: in the Start.Bat, can we use something like SetGlobalVariable => D:\GlobalVariable.ini (Inside this file is simple "E:") Example2: Start.Bat Contains: "SetGlobalVariable => D:\GlobalVariable.ini %GlobalVariable% CD\MyWorkingFIles MyProgram.exe" This way, let's say I had 100 .BAT Files, instead of changing all .BAT files from D: to E:, I would just have to change D:\GlobalVariable.ini from D: to E: Is this possible?
  7. Okay, I don't know if I went to the right place but I went to: http://www.macros.com/bugreport.htm and I explained the problem there... hopefully they can try to help fix this problem. Thank you Cory.
  8. Thank you for your response Cory and sorry for late reply. And yes I am using the Pop-Up menu VS Floating Menu. I looked into your answer and I think I found out where the issue is coming from: Its in the Pop-Up Menu Options: 1) Edit Pop-Up Menu 2) Miscellaneous Tab 3) Menu Style Options Menu Style Options: 1)Windows Default: Allows you to press ESC to exit out of menu + doesn't require pressing ENTER 2) Nickname and Scope: This is the one I prefer and use. Although with this Menu Style comes the issue. This menu style requires an ENTER + ESC doesn't work. Are you able to use Nickname and Scope without the issues that I am running into? (ESC not working, and need to hit ENTER to launch macro) Anyhow I will contact ISS and see if they can fix this issue as you have suggested....
  9. Ex: In the original Macros Express 3, when you Activate a "Pop Up Menu", it will list macros that you can choose from. 1. In Original ME3, you just click 0, 1, 2, 3 etc and the macro starts In ME3 Pro, you have to ex: click 0, 1, or 2 etc + and press enter Does anyone know how to change it so you don't have to press enter? 2. Also in Original ME3, you can press ESC key to exit out of the "Pop up menu" In ME3 Pro, you have to press "Alt+F4" Is there a way to make ESC close the "Pop up menu" in ME3 Pro?
  10. When you right click on "My Network Connections" => And go to "Properties" It takes you to "Network Connections." You will then see "Local Area Connection 1, 2, 3 etc " Does anyone know how to create a macro that will trigger an event (creating file, sound, etc) as soon as a specific "Local Area Connection" disconnects? Example: Local Area Connection 1 disconnects Program/Macro triggers (Plays a sound for example) EDIT: Nevermind, Cory helped me figure this one out. Thanks Cory!
