CNET Editors' review
A macro is an automated series of computer actions that can save you a lot of time if you find yourself doing the same tasks over and over again. Unfortunately, macros aren't always easy to create, which means that a lot of people who could benefit from them never get the chance. iMacros for Internet Explorer changes this, making it easy even for novices to create and use macros.
This browser extension appears as a small icon on the IE toolbar, and clicking on it opens a sidebar to the left. Here there are tabs for playing, recording, and editing macros, and saved macros are displayed in a tree view above. iMacros comes with a variety of sample macros that demonstrate everything that the program is capable of. iMacros can be used to automatically navigate to specific Web sites, enter usernames and passwords, fill out forms, copy and paste content to and from the clipboard, and complete other actions. Creating a new macro is as simple as clicking the Record button on the extension's interface, performing the desired tasks, and then saving the macro with a descriptive name. The program comes with a comprehensive user guide that will get new users off to a quick start while also providing plenty of information about the program's advanced features. Overall, we think that iMacros is a great program for anyone who's interested in using macros, from beginners to experts. Its basics are easy to master, but it provides plenty of functionality for those who already know what they're doing.
iMacros for Internet Explorer installs and uninstalls without issues.

"Great Tool"
Version: iMacros for Internet Explorer 7.51
Pros
Save time by recording repeat things in sites.
Cons
From version to version, it's getting some bugs.
-
"This installation does not seem to work"
Version: iMacros for Internet Explorer 7.36
Pros
Have used imacros for firefox before. This installation seems to be missing imarcos.exe. I was able to download a working version from http://www.iopus.com/download/imacros-ie/
Cons
Tool is great, this download does not work for me.
Summary
If you have an error that imacro.exe is missing after you try this download, check out the free download link from iopus.com.

"Love V6.85!"
Version: iMacros for Internet Explorer 5.21
Pros
A new version is out, and it works really well

Do not use V5.21 as listed on CNET, but use the latest version from the iOpus homepage instead

"A great time saver"
Version: iMacros for Internet Explorer 5.21
Pros
I automated my 30+ logins with the software. I can use the same macros in iMacros for Firefox and iMacros for Chrome! And its free and open-source!
Cons
It takes a few hours to learn the HTML like macro language
Summary
Try it! It might be not the right tool for your mom, but its essential for every geek or web developer.

"I downloaded this software because of qwertyisking."
Version: iMacros for Internet Explorer 5.21
Pros
Works beautifully for Firefox.
Cons
I downloaded this for IE 7 because I saw the review left by qwertyisking, who says, "Works well with IE6 *and* IE7." Downloaded all near 3.7 mb (not 3.44) and it didn't work AT ALL. The toolbar would pop up with NOTHING in it and an error message!
Summary
If you need this, then I suggest you bite the bullet and just download FireFox. I didn't want to either, but I finally did. I still mainly use IE, but for things I use macros on, it's FireFox. Good luck!

"Great software - but iMacros for Firefox is better :-)"
Version: iMacros for Internet Explorer 5.21
Pros
I tested iMacros for IE and iMacros for Firefox. Both addons work well, but iMacros for Firefox does a better job at saving web pages and has full Unicode support.
-

Version: iMacros for Internet Explorer 5.21
Pros
It is a huge productivity tool. Also available as Firefox extension
Cons
Learning curve ;)

"This is not FREE .. it costs big bucks"
Version: iMacros for Internet Explorer 5.21
Pros
Uninstaller provided ... I hope it works so I can get it out of my system
Cons
Costs a whopping amount of $ which wasn't mentioned anywhere in the previews. This is NOT free.
