Need a windows desktop screen picture taker.

[arod]

I am looking for a FREE screen capture program. I tried hyper something but it had that annoying banner at the top saying i had to buy their program to get it off.


Thanks

whats wrong with the old "print screen" button and MS Paint?

Just hit the print screen botton on your keyboard then go to paint or something and paste.

I dont really want to take the whole screen just some windows (i am making several guides for work, how to's etc.) hypersnap DX-4 allows you to take just windows as pictures.

Try the one from AnalogX.

Hold the alt key and hit print screen, should take a screenshot of the active window.

If it is for work, why not buy the software you need and charge it to their account?

I do not understand this question. Why would you want to take a screenshot of the windows background when the windows background is already a picture on your hdd? Just goto \windows and it will be in there somewhere, most likely a .bmp format. If you set the picture using Netscape or Internet Explorer, it should say something like `Netscape Wallpaper.bmp`. Just copy it and get a program to convert it to .jpg.

Using Alt/PrintScreen is a good tip. Otherwise capture the entire screen, paste it in paint then select the area of the total screen shot that you want, hit Save As, give it a name and your done. Just about as quick as using any 3rd party app.

PSP has free trails on their products

Paint Shop Pro...erm, the trial, honest

Daniels right, use Alt + Print Scrn to take a screeny of the active window.
Then use any paint program & do as you will with it

Try either Paint Shop Pro or MGI Photosuite, just go to download.com and get the Trial Versions or *Cough* WAREZ *Cough*

PrintKey It is a very good program, and is freeware, or at least their old versions were.

EDIT: The new version isn't freeware. I can send you the old freeware version if you'd like.
