Keyboard Macro WinXP Simple, Free

C

Cool Javelin

Hi, I am new here and would like some help with keyboard macros.

Most macro or hotkey software seems to be geared toward launching programs, or opening folders. I do not need or even want that.

Rather, I need to type a phrase a lot, and would like to assign a key to do that.

It would also be ideal if the phrase could be maintained encrypted, but I bet that is asking a lot.

#1) While I think this option is a low probability, it would be ideal:
I understand there is a microprocessor in the keyboard, and it would be great if there were a utility whereby I could reprogram the actual keyboard such that my computer never knows I am not simply typing keys.

#2) second best idea.
Setup Windows such that I do not need a TSR program running in the background to reprogram a key to enter a phrase. Maybe alter the system registry or something. I know this can be done to change a single key to another key, but I don't know about entering a phrase.

#3) have a VERY SMALL TSR that will do the job. Recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any help here.

Mark.
 
Thanks, Elizabeth23:

I researched all you suggested, I think I had found all those previously.

I am trying something called AutoHotkey, but am not sure it will work for me.

Really, I wanted it to enter passwords for me, so I wanted it to be secure, and none are.

Although I did come up with an idea, I have some old bar code readers. I can print bar codes without the text below, then I can scan my passwords as I need them from a sheet.

This allows for my passwords to never be on my machine and allows for easy access.

Thanks for taking the time to do this for me,
Mark.
 
Okay, wish I could help more, other than using a random generating password program, post back if you find a solution to your issue. :)
