Note

Anything you type outside that comment box doesn’t get recorded; that’s a security precaution.

When you’re finished, click Stop Record.

The Recorded Steps window appears. It shows you each screenshot that

Steps Recorder captioned, complete with its time stamp and text description
(“User left-click on ‘File Explorer’ button,” for example). This is your

chance to make sure you’re not about to send away personal information (or
photos) that might have been on the screen while you recorded.

If everything looks good, click Save to create a compressed archive—a .zip

file—that you can open to look at the report again later in your web browser
or attach as an email to an expert.

Windows Fax and Scan

See Chapter 13 for more on sending and receiving faxes from your PC—

and on scanning documents using a scanner.

Windows Media Player

In the beginning, Windows Media Player was the headquarters for music
and video on your PC. It was the hub for things like music CDs (you could
play ’em, copy songs off ’em, and burn ’em), MP3 files and other digital
songs (sort, buy, file into playlists); pocket music players of the non-iPod

variety (fill, manage playlists); internet radio stations; DVD movies; and so
on.

Windows Media Player still does all that, and more. But in the age of

Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora, its audience is dwindling.

Still, if you use Windows Media Player as your music-file database, see the
free downloadable PDF appendix “Windows Media Player” on this book’s

“Missing CD” at missingmanuals.com.
