Record & Playback - Small yet powerful

Most of you must be using record and playback tools like QTP, Selenium etc. But I have heard from some people that QTP, Selenium and other god automation tools doesn't work with or support their application (What? You must be kidding, how can QTP not support your application - It is a GOD for automation *LOL*). When these people say that they couldn't figure out a way, I remember a quote - "A fool with a tool is still a fool". Most of the people search for tools from great vendor list. What about open source? They can do wonders. What about tools that have been not listed in Open Source tools?

I found a tool which is of 920 kb size and can do wonders as a simple record and playback. You have the tool but you need to think how you can utilize it. In what ways can you utilize it. The name of the Record and Playback tool I discovered is, "Auto Clicker & Typer" (This tool doesn't require you to take training or go through the Help Documentation in order to use it). You can just download it and you will know how to use it. But with a tool also comes few limitations. But to some extent you will find this tool useful.

Now don't give comments like, "Where can I download it from?", "Please give me the link" and blah blah blah. Google is your friend.
