The Snipping Tool is a program included with the Windows Vista operating system and all later versions so far. It is screenshot utility which can not only make an image of the complete area of the screen(s), but also selected portions.
To start this program on you post-Windows XP system, just click on the Start button, and click All Programs. Then select the Accessories folder, and click on "Snipping Tool."[1]
Screenshot Options
- Full-screen - Capture the entire screen (same result as from using the Print Screen key)[2]
- Window Snip - Select a specific window to capture (same result as from holding Alt while pressing the Print Screen key)[2]
- Free-form - Draw a free-form shape with your mouse, much like using the paint brush in MS paint[2]
- Rectangular - Drag click and drag with the cursor to form a rectangle[2]
