When taking screen shots for use in tutorials, it would be really helpful to include the mouse cursor in the picture, but I've found that most screenshot tools (including those that ship with Windows) hide the cursor from the screenshot.
How can I take a screenshot on Windows which includes the mouse cursor?

Hypersnap is another good one.
3IrfanView has an option to include the cursor while taking screenshots. Press C to configure options and the hotkey. It is free for private, educational, and non-commercial use.
I've been very happy with Greenshot - you can turn on/off if mouse is captured or not + it has nice capability of adding notes and lines/arrows diretcly on the image after taking the shot. Great if you're creating user manuals or similar stuff. It's also free and open source.
(I'm not in any way affiliated with this product or it's author - just a satisfied user).
2In Windows 7 you can also search 'psr' in the Start Search:
This produces a .mht and images you can use in a tutorial.
6ShareX is a good free tool to capture screen with cursor
Screenshot Captor has the option to capture the cursor. It's my screenshot tool of choice.
1Snagit has the option includes the mouse cursor. Plus it includes a REALLY good editor for screenshots. If you are not a computer expert, it is the best tool.
1Screen Hunter should do the trick.
1PicPick...
great tool -- plus has little utilities that the rest of the suggestions don't.
1You can use Steps Recorder.
Press Start Record when you have it open, do what you have to, then press Stop Record.
When the mouse pointer is enlarged (large mouse pointer) on Windows 10, the only screen capture app I find can capture it is ScreenHunter 7. It has a free version.
