A feature new to Windows 7 (download link), called “Problem Steps Recorder” is  a advanced variation of a screen capture software. The neat little box you get is a zipped MHTML report page which can be sent off directly to the help desk. The report page is where this tool really shines. It actually is an XML page documenting each step of the user’s actions complete with a screenshot with the item highlighted. You can view the report as is, or as a slideshow, or even dig into the raw XML to expose greater detail like the X&Y coordinates of the mouse.

To try the “Problem Steps Recorder” for yourself, type and select “psr.exe” in the Windows 7 start menu.

    Nice Article,

    PSR is a beautiful tool and I really loved it, however, I work on Windows XP and Win Server 2k3. Is there any way so that I can use PSR on this Operating Systems. Please let me know.
