Windows 7 Problem Steps Recorder Script
Yesterday I wrote about the Problem Steps Recorder and how it can help us lazy IT admins who have to screenshot some setups/manual actions for recipe files or documentation in general. When I was messing around with the PSR I found out one really annoying fact: the PSR window is always on top in all the problem report screenshots.. That's not really nice for our documentation now is it? So I wrote this quick Auto-IT script that Starts PSR>start recording>wait until ESC key is pressed>stop recording>ask where to save file
Download the script from here
Here is the code (simple ofcourse 
)

Windows 7 Problem Steps Recorder
When you have to help out users with their problem, nothing is more frustrating then the users' inability to clearly state what their problem is, and how they got to the point where it went wrong. Fortunatly, Windows 7 packs a really really really awesome tool that will get rid of those problem once and for all: the Problem Steps Recorder.
This nifty little tool records the users' screen and outputs all relevant information in a MHTML document, which will contain all screenshots and steps needed by the helpdesk user. Thanks to Ment van der Plas for pointing this tool out to me 
You can start Problem Steps Recorder by Start>Run>psr.exe and try it out 
This tool is also very very very interesting for all us lazy IT guys, who don't want to screenshot their installations for recipe files etc
Windows 7: How Virtual XP Mode works
Martin Zugec (a co-worker of ours) has wrote a terrific blogpost on how the Virtual XP mode works in the new Windows 7 RC. Read it here
Thanks Martin
Windows 7
Wohoo finally available as RC, and of course within one minute i have the nasty habit of changing things like for instance the explorer button in the taskbar that brings you to the library folder (yeah who cares??). So to change this button to something usefull here is a quick fix:
Right click the button
Right click "windows explorer" and open properties
Change target to: %windir%\explorer.exe ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
Click OK!
