New Favorite Tool

Been using Vista for awhile. I just found the snipping tool in Vista. It pretty much does away with the Print Screen button. You just fire it up highlight the part of the screen you want to capture. You can then save it as an image or send the capture as an email.

Pretty cool.

Neat-o! You could always do this with 3rd party apps, but its nice to see that it's built in now.

You can more or less do the same thing with printkey2000 (for those of you not currently running vista )

That's a nice tip, thanks -- like Force Flow, I've been using a 3rd party software for that type of capture (Paint Shop Pro), but then I'm still with XP.
