PSR Tool | Windows Problem Steps Recorder (PSR)

Problem steps recorder (PSR) is a tool that is available in Windows since Windows 7 (client) / Windows 2008 R2. It's a built-in Windows tool that allows to screen-capture on mouse-click and add comments to it. So it's an ideal tool to document steps and procedures on the fly, while you're executing. Although it's a very handy tool and quick and easy to use, one of the disadvantages is that it does not capture keystrokes.

Here is the process how to use it:

1. In Windows 7, go to start menu and type "psr"
