Screen Shots and Print Screen Programs

[dfcredo]

In many of the replys I notice "Screen Shots" and wondered how you do this in Windows 7? Also can they be saved in a folder for future reference? And is there a Print Screen utility in Windows 7 or a preferred Print Screen Program you recommend. Thanks for your consideration!

You do know about the snip tool in search?

Snip with the tool , then save.

Snipping tool is the easiest tool in this task. You can do also with printscreen button on keyboard and paste it in paint. There is a paid application Camtasia studio.

I try to stay away from the paid appl, unless nothing else will do.

I would have to agree. I should add, I do not do not use it that often.

The last free version of Faststone Capture works very well with Win 7.

A+ Freeware - Multimedia & Design - FastStone Capture 5.3 (last freeware version)

I have to agree with the snipping tool recommendation. I really do love it and use it all the time. Just last night I needed to take several screen shots (just a portion of a web page) and I moved from my XP laptop to my boyfriend's Win 7 desktop just to use the snipping tool. You even have the option to email the screen shot right from the snipping tool box!

Hello Dfcredo, and welcome to Seven Forums.

I find the included Paint program in Windows 7 great for screenshots.

Hope this helps,

The snipping tool works great, but you also have the open to do the usual Print Screen method, using the Print Screen button or ALT+Print Screen if you are doing the whole screen or the active window. Either option works great.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've downloaded a trial of Snagit
and will compare it to the snip tool program. Appreciate the help.
