[TUT] How to Take a Screen Shot [TUT] - Codad Law - 03-26-2011
I have spent hours trying to find a way to take free screen shots. I have always used programs like Snagit. Did you know there is one built into Windows?
Follow this simple tut on how to take screen shots using a Windows tool named: Snipping Tool
1. Open Start Menu and go to My Computer.
2. Go to you main hard drive. In my case it's Local Disc (C
3. Go to the "Windows" file and then onto "System 32" file.
4. Find the application named "Snipping Tool"
It is very easy to use, and even comes with this nifty editing software.
You can edit the picture and highlight things like this:

I would have taken a screenshot of the software, but I can't run it at the same time.
This should work on Vista and Windows 7.
If this helped you please take 3 sec to say thanks.

This is only available on Windows 7. If you don't have W7 I suggest Gyazo!

Another way is to pretty Ctrl + Prt Scr and that will take a screen shot of whatever you are viewing that second. Then you can go to paint, and hit Ctrl + Paste and then it will paste the screen shot!
Also for easier access to the "Snipping Tool", you could just click start and search for it ;)
Very nice tutorial though~!

This is easier the print screen. This also works on Vista. This is the easiest method. On Vista you would have to search specific folders and file types.

I suggest using gyazo. The snipping tool is only windows 7.

Really? I didn't really know that this only works on Windows 7. I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 so i'm not to knowledgeable on it yet!

It's just the Print Screen button. But yes, this method works like a charm.

Wow your right! I actually thought you had to use Ctrl
I always did that! Thanks for the info! You use HF?

Oh yes. Gyazo works like a professional. Automatic uploading, it doesn't get better than that.
