How to print screen together with mouse cursor in Windows 7?

.: Ouch!
Before this I thought I already put it in my blog this howto, but it seems that that howto is gone? Now I have to remind myself again how I capture my mouse cursor (mouse pointer?) inside my print screen.

And again, it's been a loooooooong time since I use IrfanView to capture screen my desktop because we can edit the software settings to capture our images with the mouse cursor, but too bad I forgot how to use IrfanView now...

Abe Shinzo did ask this same question in Yahoo! Answers, and the 'Alt+Prt Scr' hotkey did not work inside my 1Malaysia Netbook - is it because I'm using Windows 7 Starter instead of Windows XP like before? Alt+Prt Scr just capture the active app/window I've clicked before, not the whole desktop together with the wanted cursor. And Ctrl+Prt Scr is just like a normal Print Screen to me...

But in superuser.com, it is interesting to learn that we can use third party software to do this capturing job, or we can try the Microsoft's Problem Steps Recorder. But user Wesley Murch states that their screen shots "are understandably low quality, didn't see settings for that" shows that I need to check for other options -> need more googling there.

Greenshot~~

Alas, my search is finally over. AddictiveTips comes with an article which is right on my target - Greenshot software is my lifesaver. hahahaha X-D 

Eh? More printscreen software if you scroll downwards? errrr...

Okay, I just use Greenshot though. If I'm not happy with it, RevoUninstaller can help me later, heehee. After trying once (I just want to capture one screen only), my review is Greenshot is quite an okay program. What's interesting is it comes with the camera click sound. Hurmm, okay, nicey~~

7 Ways to abduct the light pimp screen pixlr grabber!!

.: What? That title suppose to mean what?? An alien abduction conspiracy???

I've been a loyal Fx users since I met her last 2008 or 2007. I'm alternating between the install-in-your-PC version and the portable version. Oh yeah, I use both Fx at my workplace, at my home. The unlikely event from using my beloved Fx is... Why Firefox doesn't have the backward ability for their add-ons?? With newer Firefox, older add-ons is no longer working anymore. Why??? Whyyyyyy Firefox whyyyyyyyy????  X-O

:-P

Never mind. I can live with that. Here I'm gonna lists all my past 6 Firefox add-ons for printing/capturing my computer screen from Fx 2.# until Fx 4b9~~

1. Screengrab  : Fx add-on no 1146.

Screengrab by Andy M.

Website : [ http://www.screengrab.org/ ].
The very first add-on buddy for my print screen work. No longer supported by Fx4b9. It can support whole page capturing as well the selected area too. Even though it can capture flash, but I prefer other add-on to do that.

2. Abduction : Fx add-on no 3408.

Abduction by Rowan Lewis.

Website : [ http://github.com/rowan-lewis/abduction/tree/master ].
One of what I classify as the most powerful screen grabber at that time. Too bad it uses too much source when taking screenshots of an entire page...

3. Pixlr Grabber : Fx add-on no 9924.

Pixlr Grabber by Ola Sevandersson.

Website : [ http://www.pixlr.com/ ].
When my Abduction disabled, I choose you, Pixlr! Ooops.. Pixlr is a special version screen grab tool because this is the first add-ons I found to integrate an online and powerful Photoshop-like image editor too. Wow~

4. Screen Capture Elite: Fx add-on no 4913.

Screen Capture Elite by Grizzly Ape.

Website : [ http://www.grizzlyape.com/firefox-addons/screen-capture-elite/ ].
The next generation of my Abduction? Whoa.. But this add-on does not have the online image editing feature. Just an enhanced normal screen capture tool~

5. LightShot (screenshot tool) : Fx add-on no 54654.

LightShot (Screenshot tool) by Serg & Andrej at Skillbrains.

Website : [ http://lightshot.skillbrains.com/ ].
Another version of Abduction + Pixlr, this add-on has their own online image editing too~ Now I'm using this together with the next add-on :-)

6. Screenshot Pimp- Screengrab, Screen Shots, & Save Selection : Fx add-on no 247573.

Screenshot Pimp - Screengrab, Screen Shots, & Save Selection by Konverts.

Website : [ http://www.ffpimp.com/ ].
Pure Abduction, no online image editing support~   ;-)

"6 ways only? How come you write you have 7?" you may asked. Well, well..

7. Finally, my own super "powerful" screenshot grabber of all time...

The one and original, the Print Screen key~

Heehee~  :-)
I can use it screen capturing to my heart's content, laa la lala laaaa~~   X-D
