Windows 8 SmartScreen Filter
Why has Windows SmartScreen Filter blocked Mini Mouse Macro from running?
Windows may prevent Mini Mouse Macro (MMM) from running for the first time due to the default SmartScreen filter that checks unrecognized published files downloaded from the internet.
To move forward from this click the 'More Options' button on Win 7 or the 'More info' label on Win 8 and Windows 10 then select to 'Run Anyway'. After this one off the SmartScreen filter will not try to block MMM from running.

Check out the detailed tutorial page and video here.
Recording and saving a macro is quick and easy:
- To start recording click the Record button or press the CTRL+F8 key on your keyboard to start recording.
- To stop recording click the stop button or press the CTRL+F10 key on your keyboard.
- To play the macro click the Play button or press the CTRL+F11 key on your keyboard. The macro can be looped by selecting the 'Loop' tick box.
- To pause or suspend the current running macro click the Pause button or press CTRL+F9 on your keyboard.
- To save the macro click the Save button or press CTRL+S. The macro is saved with a .mmmacro file extension
- To load a macro click the Load button or press CTRL+L, or drag and drop a .mmmacro saved file into the macro window.
- The Refresh button clears the macro list.
How do I capture my mouse movement with the macro?
To capture the mouse movement with the macro start recording the macro with the 'Mouse' checkbox ticked or press CTRL+F7 before or during the recording of the macro. Once mouse recording is enabled when the mouse is moved the location is added to the macro queue.
The mouse is captured multiple times each seconds. This results in a fluid mouse track during macro play back. It is possible to speed up or slow down the mouse movement time for each entry by changing each individual entry in the queue window then selecting 'Edit' from the right click menu. Another idea is to save the macro with the 'Save' button and edit the values in a text editor or spreadsheet software, save as a Mini Mouse Macro file (.mmmacro) and then import it in using the 'Load' button.

How do I loop my macro or create a custom loop count?
To loop a macro tick the 'Loop' check box located at the top right of the Macro window. This will loop the macro continually until the macro is paused with the 'CTRL+F9' key or the stop button (next to the play button) is clicked with the mouse.
Caution - It is possible to get macro's caught in a never ending loop if the time between the first macro entry and the last macro entry is less than 50 m/s. This occurs in older computers with slow or overloaded processors that are unable to provide adequate CPU attention to the application to catch a pause or stop event between the last and first macro entry. - This is very rare and unlikely. This only effects old PC's with very outdated CPU's.
As a general rule it is best to leave yourself at least 500 ms to 1 second between the last and first entry, so the macro can be stopped with a pause or mouse click.
Create a Custom Loop - To set a custom loop count left click on the 'Loop' label (top right) to bring up the custom loop count input box and then enter the loop count you wish. When the macro is looping the number displayed for the loop count will count down to zero then the looping will stop.

What is the Event log and what type of events are logged?
The Event Log logs Mini Mouse Macro events in real time. This can be useful as a visual representation of macro condition evaluation during macro playback. The Event Log is disabled by default. Enable event logging in program settings.
The Event Log logs Mini Mouse Macro events in real time. This can be useful as a visual representation of macro condition evaluation during macro playback. The Event Log is disabled by default. Enable event logging in program settings.
Several types of events are logged:
|
Information Events - Information events include internal status notifications. For example saving and loading notifications, update status, and other low level information.
|
|
Warning Events - Warning events are notifications of failures, cancellations, or internal events that fall outside normal running operation. Unlike errors, warnings do not translate directly to errors or issues.
|
|
Error Events - Error events are the result of internal errors. These events can result from incorrect internal settings, errors in running macro's, or errors that arise during general application usage.
|
|
Recording Events - Recording events are logged during the recording of macro's. These events are directly the result of keyboard and mouse captures as they are recorded by the macro.
|
|
Macro Events - Macro events are all events that occur as a result of running a macro.
Macro events can be broken down in to three sub categories:
|
Event Log Settings - Settings for the Event Log are available from Program Options - Event Log
- Enable/Disable - This is the master switch to turn all logging on or off.
- Logging Limits - This is the total amount of event history that is kept before it starts to roll over.
- Log Entry Limit - This is the number of events that are displayed in the log before it starts to roll over.

How do I run a saved macro at Windows startup/login [Macro Queue and File type Association]?
A macro can be launched on startup by using the Macro Queue or through file type association options.
Now the macro queue will be enabled and Mini Mouse Macro will launch at startup then run the macro's in the macro queue automatically. NOTE that because the macro queue is enabled (Macro queue ON) whenever you press play within Mini Mouse Macro the macro queue will run. This can sometimes be the cause of confusion for those that do not remember they have items in the macro queue. For this reason the option below '2 - File type Assocation' may be better. To disable the queue - Turn the Macro queue OFF.
A macro can be launched on startup by using the Macro Queue or through file type association options.
- 1 - The Macro Queue
- Open up the Options page and select 'Run at Windows startup'
- Select a home folder path for MiniMouseMacro.exe
- Goto the 'Macro Queue' tab and add in the saved .mmmacro file you would like to launch on startup.
- IMPORTANT - Don't forget to enable the macro queue entry (check out the picture below)
- Save the settings by clicking on the 'Save' button.

To disable the queue - Turn the Macro queue OFF.
Options - Run at Windows startup - Select the home directory
Macro Queue - Add the .mmmacro saved file - Macro Queue ON - Auto Start Play ON
- 2 - File type association (.mmmacro in the 'startup path')
- Open up the Options page and select '.mmmacro File Association'. Save the settings by clicking on the 'Save' button. NOTE that MiniMouseMacro.exe must be run as Administrator for this to be enabled. This is becuase a registry entry must be made to the HKCR tree to enable file association for .mmmacro files (HKCR\.mmmacro & HKCR\mmmacrofile).
- Create a macro with Mini Mouse Macro and save it to a file. The file extention for saved macro's is .mmmacro. Test that file association is enabled by opening the save .mmmacro file. The file should open and run within Mini Mouse Macro. The file (.mmmacro files) picture should also change (once restart) to the same icon as MiniMouseMacro.exe.
- Copy that file to the location of the startup directory for Windows.
- Located at the path C:\Users\[your login user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
- Or Window key+run to open the run dialog and type shell:startup to launch the location.
Options - File Association - Run Macro on Open
Copy the .mmmacro file to the default startup location: C:\Users\[your login user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

How do I stop the mouse from moving during playback of clicks and keys?
'Disable Mouse Playback' prevents the mouse from moving during click and key presses. This is useful for gaming where you do not want the mouse to move but actions to still happen.
This is not so good for desktop publishing macros that require items on the screen be selected. The clicks and keys are repeated at the position they are recorded at however because there is no mouse moved to that position all the recorded events are replayed in the current selected window scope.
To enable this feature open the options page and select 'Disable Mouse Playback'
