	How do I stop a macro while it's running?

Article If your computer is running XP or earlier, hold down CTRL and tap the ESC key.

For later operating systems, particularly Vista and Windows 7, there are two ways to abort playback:

CTRL + ESC, or
Pause/Break key

If the above methods do not work, please try the following:

CTRL+ALT+DEL, then hit Cancel to return to the desktop. This clears the block on physical input that PTFB Pro uses during macro playback.
If the macro is still playing, the above two methods should now work immediately.

Note that these techniques are for stopping a macro while it's playing, they will not stop the macro repeating. If you've set the macro to repeat and need to stop it from playing again, you can either open up PTFB Pro's main window or right click on its tray icon and choose "Disable". For convenience, you can also define a hotkey for this.
