Limit PSR.EXE to record just one screen (area would even be better)

[rudi]

Hi,

A tool I use quite frequently to do documentation is PSR.EXE (Problem Step Recorder), included with windows at least starting with Windows 7.

 

Unfortunately PSR will record *ALL* monitors active.

The only approach I'm aware of to limit PSR to one single screen is either to switch to one-screen-active (really dumb), or to RDP connect to some VM, that has one screen with a screen resolution that's appropriate for the documentation to be done.

 

What would be the fastest approach to

• switch from "4-monitor-setting" to single monitor active
• start PSR.EXE recording (possible with command line options)
• switch back to 4-monitor-setting with exactly the same arrangment settings as before? (numbering, orientation, resolution)

<edit>

I just recognized, that this doesn't work: PSR.EXE unfortunately is aware of screen settings changes. It always records all currently active monitors.

A Two-Monitor-Example is attached.

</edit>

Maybe someone is aware of a customized PSR.EXE version capable to record just one monitor, or, even better, some adjustable region?
