Hi Guys!

I am stuck with a Windows computer, and am desperatly trying to find out how to do a screencapture.

I am familiar with both alt/shift + prtScreen, but if there is someway to size a screencapture without having to go through Paint or similar, pleeeeaaase share the secret with me

THANKS IN ADV!

Unfortunately, you need to use a 3rd-party utility to do this without having to go through Paint on Windows. I am also stuck on a Windows machine at the moment, and though I don't do screen captures often, I understand your frustration.

Nope, Windows requires a 3rd party utility to do that.

I always use The Gimp, freeware that works on Windows (as well as Macs and Linux). It will capture a window plus it is a very well featured graphics editor so you can trim, draw, add nomenclature, and save in the format of your choice, all in one program.

I do a Print Screen then paste into Powerpoint, trim off what I dont want, then copy and paste into where ever I want it. Takes about 5 minutes, job done!

Windows Vista and 7 also have the Snipping Tool.
