'Print Screen' button and have the pointer where you want it?

Wait, didn't realise that Windows 7 hides the cursor. I'm not sure then..

'Print Screen' never includes the mouse cursor - not in Windows 7, nor in any other Windows version.

You'll have to use special software, or paste a pic of the cursor into your screenshot.

XP hides it too and so does Vista if I remember correctly.

The PrintScreen method doesn't include the mouse cursor. The best method I know is to manually add it. I'd edit a cursor for you but Adobe Photoshop CS3 is crashing a lot. I'm sure someone else can do it. All they'd have to do is make the background transparent which shouldn't be too hard.

depending on what you are doing maybe report a bug etc or a screen shot of a error message etc could try Problem Steps Recorder.

Type psr in the search box.

Great tool for troubleshooting, it outputs a file in you can view in Windows Internet explorer - shows mouse pointer.

it's not a bug, don't waste MS's and everyone else's time by reporting it.

Primexx who said it was a bug user wanted a way to record screen shots psr does this.

For your info it outputs a file you can use you dont need to send to microsoft

Its a handy tool for anyone to use and see https://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/01/11/w...corder-overview

To include a mouse cursor in any screenshot you take (and also to make the screenshot perfect - i.e. right to the edge of the dialog boxes), this handy program works perfectly :)

Hope that helps? :)

PSR.exe compresses the images. I need full quality images =)

IrfanView can do it too.

SnagIt allows you to include your cursor in screenshots but it isn't free. It's well worth paying for though if you take lots of screenshots.

Try turning on the magnifier (Win Plus) and then zooming out all the way (Win Minus). I recall that screenshots taken while the magnifier is running include the mouse cursor.

I agree, it also lets you record video with the cursor included. Great for teaching how to do things. Here's an example of one I made a long time ago with Snagit.
