Anyone have a recommendation for free screen recording software for Windows?

This is the one I use.

http://www.flashbackrecorder.com/

Select download and then Flashback Express that is the free one.

It does save in its own format .fbr, but it comes with a player and you can export to avi.

I use MSI Afterburner to record games but it also (sometimes?) work for recording Desktop (by hot-key)

Try also:
CamStudio - Free Screen Recording Software
http://camstudio.org/

EDIT:
They seem to bundle ad-ware with some of the Downloads (ESET NOD32 Antivirus say "a variant of Win32/InstallCore.ACZ potentially unwanted application")
DON'T use the Green [Download] buttons or the links bellow them!

For clean installer Use - at bottom of page the link to MajorGeeks
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/camstudio.html

Which (CamStudio_2.7_r316_setup.exe) is clean:

Try pressing CTRL-PrtScrn using your keypad.

The selection needs to be marked or selected first.

Also keep the cursor, or rather mouse, away when doing this.

On my windows laptop I have used freez screen video capture software.
