How to Use Microsoft Steps Recorder (NVR)

This application when turned on (Start Recording) documents all clicks and takes screenshots for a process you are performing on your computer by recording each action line by line. A user can then save the recorded information into one file and send to someone else for help. It is particularly useful when trying to describe and/or diagnose an issue someone is having on their computer, such as an apparent bug or issue when using SchedulePro.

*Note: Steps Recorder does not record the keystrokes for text input so users do not have to worry about exposing a password when logging in to an application while the recorder is running.
