Those instructions are super helpful, friend. Thank you. I'm an idiot. I didn't even think to try doing it that way. I didn't think it would work outside of a browser. Which, I know realize is stinkin' thinkin'. Of course it would work. It's a print screen button, not a print the internet button.

Bare with me, team. I'll get there.

Print screen simply takes a screen shot and puts in on your clipboard. Then you can paste it in ms paint and save it as a png or jpg to post here.

Start > type in Snipping Tool in the search field, hit enter
then you can "rope" what you want Windows to capture.
Under the New menu you can also select it do a "full-screen snip."

As someone who uses "Snipping Tool" everyday at work, I can tell you it does not suck.

Except if you're going to use that just install GreenShot. It does the same thing but better.

What program are you using that displays the system info on the right? Reminds me of Conky for Linux, which I love.

My problem with these other "snipping tools" is that they tend to be "heavier" than the built-in Windows one. I assign Snipping Tool to a quick key and it snaps right open. I agree that the other tools are better, but for my purposes the built-in one works the best.

Greenshot isn't heavy at all. It runs quietly in the background with no drain on resources. I hit print screen and instead of copying a full screenshot to the clipboard it brings up a cursor so I can select an area to capture (you can also set it to capture the entire screen, or the top active window). I have it set so when I select the area it automatically saves it as a .png file into a specified folder. It's saved with a timestamp filename to easily find what you've grabbed.

I hate running extra stuff in the background. But I'll give Greenshot a try, if you tell me to shut my whore mouth!

I have to push back a little, that's how I get more of what I want.
