    Hello all,

    I have used OneNote screenshot tool in the past.
    I currently use Vista's Snipping Tool, but it has been a bit sluggish of late.

    Which screenshot solution do you swear by?

    Todays giveawayoftheday might be worth looking at. Google for it if you don't already know what it is.

    I've gotta ask, how is one screenshot program any different from another?

    I mean, aren't they all just assigned a hotkey to save screenshot to a file?

    me = LOVES how it hi-jacks the PrintScreen button...I might even use something like Sharpkeys to map my Right Click button to do the same.

    I like it because I dont have to hit printscreen and paste it into a Doc or Paint. What I need is right there with one *shot* per se :)


    ^^^^ LOL...That's a good idea!~ :cool:

    I tried yesterday' Free Give Away CaptureIt (and it was actually very nice, compared to the first look trial, when I decided to stick with Snipping Tool), and CamStudio (for more capture options) is much better and worth taking a look.
