Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although not packed with extra features, EZ Macros does indeed make a simple way to automate repetitive computer chores. Novice users will find it helpful that the program calls up a brief tutorial upon launch, though more advanced users will easily be able to figure it out themselves. First, you choose from one of four macro types before assigning a hot-key combo and browsing your computer for the document or program you want to launch. EZ Macros allows you to schedule your macros to run when Windows starts up, a handy feature bound to save a little time. For the most part, EZ Macros worked well though occasionally a keystroke combination didn t trigger the macro. Still, we think this tiny program will appeal to busy folks who don't want to spend a lot of time learning their way around a macro-creation program.Publisher's description
From American Systems :EZ Macros is an easy-to-use keyboard and mouse-macro recorder designed to help you eliminate repetitive tasks on your computer. You can set it to record a sequence of movements, or program your own macro, inserting pauses, delays, sounds, dates, and times. With the included EZ Scheduler, macros can be scheduled to run at Windows start-up, once, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. You can even create password-protected secure macros. You also can have EZ Macros launch a program by pressing a hot key.
This version features the ability to place macros in a list for easy access to your menu. Also new in this version is the creation of self-contained EXE macros, allowing you to make mini programs for distribution.
Note: This is a 30-day trial version. The registration fee is $29.95.

Version: EZ Macros 5.0a
Cons: Bought the full version after trial expired. Had problems with installation and contacted customer support by phone (had to leave voice mail message), through their website (message service) and by e-mail. No response whatsoever after 5 days. Toll free number on their website appeared to be disconnected.

Version: EZ Macros 5.0a
Pros: Download is free. Unfortunately time is not free, and you will waste a lot of trying to get this macro to work. Not as "EZ" as you would think it should be.
Cons: Contrary to its title, there is nothing "EZ" about EZ Macros. Looking to create a simple macro that can record mouse clicks and keyboard entries? Well keep looking, because you need to have a PhD in computer programming to figure out how to get this poorly written software to execute a FEW SIMPLE moves. Piece of junk software. Don't waste your time with it.

Version: EZ Macros 5.0a
"Nice program but major flaws"
Pros: Works nicely when you get it working but...
Cons: Works nicely when you get it working but the registration process is a closely held secret (you have to "redownload") and unless you're lucky or psychic, you'll go nuts trying to get rid of the "sample" macros and finding the file locations of the ones you write. And the registered download filename has no indication to distinguish it from the demo.

Version: EZ Macros 5.0a
Cons: I was trying to create a simple macro for search and replace in MS Front Page. I could not make it work properly. I downloaded WORKSPACE MACRO and that one was able to do exactly what I wanted.

Version: EZ Macros 5.0a
Cons: This program does not work on many of the operating systems they will claim it works on. You WILL NOT get your money back, even though they offer a money back guarantee because their telephone number is an answering machine that noone listens to and they will NEVER respond to an e-mail.
THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS! DO NOT GET SCAMMED BY THEM!!
