i mean like if im too lazy to go through 50 menus on a game to change a setting, i can create a macro that has copyed my mouse movements and does it for me very quikly.

Macros have to be supported by the software you're using. IE you can't write a macro for a program that doesn't support them.

(Unless you're a damn good low-level programmer)

Most Macros are written in high level languages, most commonly Visual Basic.

Programs like MS Office have macro recording facilities which will watch what you are doing and write the macro code for what you do in the background.

MS Office also has some (limited) VB editing abilites so you don't have to go out and buy VB to manually make macros.

You can do that on MS Excel I think.

i know what you mean cloud, but i don't know how you could do it, i suppose if you find out the setting name or function of the setting name, you could go to the main ini file, find the key bindings and try binding a key to that setting, but thats about as far as i can help. Anything in particular, like an example from a certain game?

If you have a copy of Windows 3.1 handy (a cookie if you do), hunt down RECORDER.EXE and use that to make a macro.
