1. Which scripting language used by QTP?
   Most of the newbie are confuse about this. In many place you will find that QTP uses VBscript, java script and other scripting language.

2. Low Level Recording
   This records somewhat more events than the above one. for example, suppose there is a application with Editbox that requires some input. So if you are using normal recording it will only record the charcter keys only and at one after you press TAB or after you start any other event. But if you are using Analog recording it will recorded some of non charcter keys too, like backspace Left Arrow, Right Arrow, etc...
   This is generally used when you are not able to record any of the object properly or when you want to record other events too.
3. Analog Recording
   this is much more sensitive then above two. Means it is recording much more events than above two. Suppose if you have a application like MS paint and you want to record some drawing with mouse you will not be able to do this with the above two. You require this option to enable.
   There is a problem with this kind of recording that you will not be able to edit it once it will be recorded.
