Screen Shots with single key press

I dont like it how if i take screenshots i have to go to paint and paste them and save them. Id like to be able to just press prt scr and have it save to a certain folder. I have fraps but thats only for games....

After thinking on this for some time I cannot think of one thing so far

snipping tool does not work?

That was the first thing I thought too. But it seems like he wants to have it make a picture file without having to actually do anything beyond pressing a single key.

IB, I agree with you. That would save some time. The only problem I see with it is, what if it is pressed accidentally. On a desktop keyboard, or USB keyboard, chances seems slim, but on a laptop keyboard, the chances a lot higher. Of course, an option to turn it on and off in control panel would take care of that problem.

Actually you can capture desktop with Fraps. Take a look in attach.

Congrats on the 600th post.

It seem like that just opens the snipping tool. I meant something more like it creating a new jpeg on the desktop that is whatever was on the screen when you pressed a button.
