I found this by accident looking for a program on Windows 7. Pretty awesome, finally an improvement on print-screen. Is it new on W7 or have I been missing out for years here?

I found it under /Accessories in my taskbar.
Use Snipping Tool to capture screen shots

Looks pretty good
although in windows you've always had:
print screen = full screen grab
alt+print screen = active window screen grab
Since I've got onenote I've been using that to capture anything else which needs a more selective grab that a window.Coffee's for closersComment
