if you don't need to capture the whole screen, the snipping tool is very useful.
there isn't a tutorial on this sevenforums, but there's a very good one for vista - the 7 version works in the same way. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number mickey megabyte 1234 OS ultimate 64 sp1 CPU i5 2500K 3.3@4.2GHz Motherboard MSI P67A-GD53 Memory 8 gigs GSkill Ripjaws 1600 Graphics Card amd hd6950 Sound Card creative x-fi gamer Monitor(s) Displays samsung 24" Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard saitek eclipse ii Mouse logitech g3 PSU antec 550 Case antec three hundred Cooling i'm a cooling fan Hard Drives ocz vertex 2e 60 gig, samsung f3 1tb, buffalo 2tb ext Internet Speed about 4 Mbps Other Info i love win7 |

i like WinSnap myself. it's not free, but it does quite well with Windows 7. pinned to the taskbar, its jumplist gives you quick access to the different capture types available. it captures aero windows very cleanly, even clipping out the round corners, and it cleans up whatever is showing behind the glass for a nice tidy image.
i use it along with FastStone Capture - it just depends on what kind of screenshot i need... | My System Specs | | OS 7600 x86 CPU Core 2 Duo e7200, 2.53 ghz Motherboard Micro-Star MS-7529 Memory 2x DDR2 PC5300 1gb, 667 mhz Graphics Card GeForce 9500gt, 512mb Monitor(s) Displays 22" LG Flatron w2234s Screen Resolution 1680x1050 PSU CoolerMaster M520 Hard Drives Excelstor SATA-II 250gb 7200rpm, 8mb cache Internet Speed 30/20 mbits FREE Screenshot Programs problems?
