...with IrfanView
While Snipping Tool still delights me, today I learned to Capture a Screenshot with IrfanView that shows the mouse cursor! ... \:D/
In brief:
Open Irfan View -> Options -> Capture/Screenshot (check/modify settings)
-> Start -> Ctrl-F11
Settings
Capture Setup has many controls. I set the capture area to Foreground window. I left capture method at default Hot Key CTRL+F11. I left default at including mouse cursor. And after the capture show in main window of IrfanView.
Yes will need to crop
But cropping--once I realised* how (when there is an image on the canvas and no paint tools selected, just left click drag, let-go, Ctrl+Y)--is also rather nifty in IrfanView, offering (via Edit -> Show selection grid) a golden ratio grid.

PS - if you were wondering
- \:D/ in title is a Happy Dance
- the screenshot for which I wanted a cursor...
