Can Windows 7 or Vista's Snipping Tool capture a screen 10 seconds later, and capture the mouse pointer as well?

"No, not using snipping tool :(

In Windows 7, you may have some luck using Problem Steps Recorder, which is free and included.

Either click the Start Orb and type in search ""Problem Steps"" then click on ""Record steps to reproduce a problem"", or a lot easier - Go to run (Windows Key+R), and type ""PSR""

Click Record, and it should be able to take screen shots at everything on screen that you click on. It combines everything in to a MHT file within a ZIP file, however, you can open up the MHT file and save any of the pictures (that are saved at full resolution)."

"Gadwin printscreen can capture the mouse.

Otherwise, although it might be a hassle, you could use an image manipulation program to paste a mouse image where you want it..?"

At my job, I'm stuck with the snipping tool -- not allowed to install anything else. I came up with a work-around using a special PPT file and the MS Office Picture Manager that allows me to insert mouse pointer, cursor and annotations (a la SnagIt).

"I need to take print screens from my Remote Desktop using Citrix Receiver, and inside this VPC the print screen key doesn't work.

I tried a lot of methods and nothing worked. But with delay now it works.

You can use Pinta

You can use Greenshot

When you press print-screen greenshot maintains yours menus and pop-ups opened, differently from the Windows native print-screen.

And if you want a delay, it has an option in the preferences.

Even, if you want to take a snap of your pop-up. There one functionality in snipping tool (it's not related with delay thing). Here you can open snipping tool first (win+R, then write 'snippingtool' press Enter, then cancel/ be out from it) after that you can make/process ahead for your pop-up. Once appear that pop-up immediately press 'Ctrl+PrtSc' keys. It should open snipping criteria for selecting the area.
