• PSR.exe or Problem Steps Recorder is a tool that comes with Windows 7 (and other Windows editions that have come during the time of Windows 7 and after). It’s intended for users to capture step by step actions and screenshots to illustrate a problem. It’s a great tool for its intended use. However, if you create a lot of documents with screenshots or need to document a procedure, this tool can save you a lot of time. Since it’s intended as a troubleshooting tool, the tool is not directly exposed in the Start menu or Control Panel. Launch the executable by typing psr.exe from a command prompt or the search bar. After you record your steps, PSR saves the report in a zipped MHTML file. This is so you can easily send the report to someone via e-mail. Within the MHTML file, the screenshots are jpg files. Just right click and “Copy” the images from the report to paste into your own documentation.
