The title is quite missleading, I have heard of DVD Flick and use it a lot, but it say's that there would be 11 that I never heard of. I am highly disapointed

Open m$ paint. Press the edit tab. And there is your screen capture. You can use this at anytime. Gaming, surfing, desktop what ever you fancy.

The assumption was that he knew how to paste a print screen.


Thank you, come again.

My hero. Thank you for beating me to it. This is 100% accurate.

DrFPS, check this out too: I have the Razer Lycosa. Each of the 104 keys can be assigned to do something. So, I took the simple approach and made F10 open up MsPaint (I did this over 4-5 months ago). I also have MsPaint set to open with an extremely small box to paste in so that I never, ever have to shrink it down when I paste small windows.

So, here's all I have to do in order to post a screenshot of something like the Task Manager:
  1. Open Notepad, and re-size it to provide a clean white background.
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager (because I disabled the Welcome Screen).
  3. Press Alt+Print Screen to capture Task Manager.
  4. Press F10 to open MsPaint.
  5. Press Ctrl+V to paste it.
  6. Press Alt, F, A to open "Save As..." (I have F12 set to open Outlook, so I can't use F12 for Save As...)
  7. Save it.
  8. Then go through with the things I do in order to post a screenshot.
Notice the steps above lacked "take the time meticulously cropping the screenshot". Here's the result:



Alt+Print Screen + Notepad for a clean white background (for the top left and right corners). Awesome. I'll never have to spend the time trying to crop it out ever again.

Vista's Sniping is nice too... it's a fast way to crop screenshots and save directly to file

That's what I hear: so, once I'm completely moved into Windows 7 (I'm using XP at the moment, but I boot into 7 to practice using it), I'll be posting screenshots like the above using the Snipping Tool.

I only installed the RC, build 7100 about 2 days ago, so I still have a ton of stuff to go through.

I LOVE dropbox. Its so nice to be able to just put a file in your dropbox and know that if you ever need it, its there regardless of where you are in the world. I know there are other services that do the same but dropbox is so much quicker to use.
