The only interesting button is start recording, the other control elements such as stop recording or add comments are only activated during operation.

It would also be important to run the program with administrator rights, since programs that are to be recorded also make use of them and otherwise problems may arise but need not.

A comment can be sent to all steps via Add comment inserted.

To do this, use the mouse to mark the part of the screen for which a comment is to be written and enter the desired text in the field Mark and comment on the problem then click OK. If everything is recorded click on Stop recording and save the file.
This file is saved as a zip saved, has the file extension mht and can be opened by double-clicking in a browser such as Internet Explorer.

Why in the browser?
The * .mht files is a text format developed by Microsoft that saves all the content of a website in a single file. While texts are stored legibly, binary data such as images and graphics are stored in BASE64 coding. This format overcomes the problem that when saving an HTML page, graphics and other features represented on it must be saved separately.

Basically that's it, passing it on as a single file is easy, as it can be sent by email or passed on to a speci on a USB stick.
