Other uses TypeRecorder can be used for explains Rampell software in the readme is that the program is helpful in monitoring unauthorized use of your computer and has the ability to log the application, time and date they keys were pressed. If you use this software we advise you to be careful that all your passwords, emails, messages, chats are going to be logged also, if someone found the log file the program stores in the control panels folder in plain view then you can run into some problems. How to make TypeRecorder more discreet. 1. Install. Restart. Register the software to avoid the warning message that you are using unregistered software once you start your computer. If you do not register the message will keep appearing. If a visitor visits your computer and sees the message they will know a keylogger is installed. Major security risk. 2.

Find the box where it says "Invisible" and check it close the window and make changes. Do the same for the FOLDER called "TypeRecorder Records" 3.
