I’ve had Windows 7 on my new laptop for a while, but about a month ago I noticed a little thing called a “Snipping Tool”. At first, I wondered what it was, but eventually my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to check it out. It literally allows you to ‘snip’ a piece out of a photo, a website or a document.. or anything else that happens to be on your screen at the time. You can save it as a .jpg or you can even email it to someone. It is the most handy thing EVER. I love it, and now that I know what it does, I tend to use it all the time.
If you have Win 7, you should definitely try it. It puts print screen to shame.
