How to record Desktop or programs not game related?

[DeathRaye]

I am wanting to do two things and having issue with a third.

One, I have a browser based game that will not record as DxTroy will not recognize the window as a game when it opens the game.  My first thought was to just do a Desktop recording of my monitor but I don't know how to do that with DxTroy.

Second, I was wanting to do some How To videos of some programs that I use, but again, DxTroy does not link to them so that I can record what I do...  Now this just could be me know having a clue, and if that's the case, sorry for having you teach me...   Again, just being able to record the desktop would fix this problem, but it would be nice to record just the program in its self...

Any help would be great!!!
