This is not really a programming note, however, I thought it was worth mentioning: as a programmer I am often doing screen captures and including them in documentation or e-mails. I have always used the ctl-PrtScn and alt-PrtScn keyboard combo to do this and then pasted the images into MS Paint or somesuch to crop and annotate.
No more…
I just found out that Windows 7 (and apparently, Vista too) has a better way! Just enter “snipping tool” into the start menu’s search. The rest should be self-explanatory.
