When taking screen shots for use in tutorials, it would be really helpful to include the mouse cursor in the picture, but I've found that most screenshot tools (including those that ship with Windows) hide the cursor from the screenshot.
How can I take a screenshot on Windows which includes the mouse cursor?

4Why not just take a shot of the relevant pointer type from the control panel mouse window, and then you can paste it in where ever you like. Not an ideal solution, but it's probably what I'd do. – DMA57361 – 2010-09-15T07:26:02.033

I don't know of any offhand, but I wrote a basic screenshot app, it would just be deleting a line to make it not hide the cursor, its GPL'd, so anyone can make that change freely. Source can be found here: http://www.pulsarsoftware.net/Download/Source/SC_0.1_Source.zip

@MaQleod: Sounds great, thanks - but I don't have a compiler for au3 files. – Sam – 2010-09-15T08:14:48.507
