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 )
