It's easy to miss the obvious....LOL
you should give faststone a go it has some good editing features as well and you can add text, it's what I always use all the time. If you want to capture a whole screen with a menu or something open, just hit the print screen button to capture full screen or if you want to capture a web page it will allow you to capture a scrolling webpage, it's a very useful tool.
ProgramAddons FastStone Capture 5.3.zip
i use Window Clippings myself. it's not freeware ($18) but it's really worth the money. it has all the best features of faststone, but it's capable of capturing the alpha transparency of aero glass and shadows, which makes for some really nice screenshots.
below is a screenshot of a screenshot. i captured the gadgets window first, then loaded it into photoshop to show the transparency. cool!
and here is the original screenshot as a PNG with transparency:
Yeh, shame it's not working in X64 Ultimate Build 7057. Keeps coming up telling me to restart and try again, or that Magnifier.dll is not available.
Good on ya, Bill. Tempt us with a nice little script and what happens? The bloody thing doesn't work!
Hi Guys I was web-loitering and saw your comments...how do I add the snipping tool to the gadgets screen so that is shows as do the others..may are missing on my system.
What do you mean "gadgets screen" ? It's not a gadget if you mean sidebar gadgets, it's found in Windows 7 > Start > All Programs > Accessories
