  4. Insert another Message Box command that says "Select your Screen Saver and click on Apply and OK button".
  5. This completes a task that instructs and guides the user to perform a task.

Example 2: Create an automated interactive task that guides your user how to perform the next action.

  1. Click Tools->Task Editor.
  2. Create a task and insert 'Message Box' command at appropriate locations to inform user about his next set of actions in the task.
  3. Insert a 'Pause' command after the Message Box command. Sometimes users can just hit OK button without reading the complete information. This will ensure that the task does not proceed further and instead pauses until the user manually resumes it.
