According to Gabe Goldberg at Tiplet:
It’s often desirable or necessary to capture — that is, record into a file — what’s on your Windows screen. Windows has two basic tools for this: the Print Screen (or PrtScreen or some other variant) key captures the contents of your entire Windows desktop onto the Windows Clipboard; pressing Alt and PrintScreen captures only
the active program window. Sometimes one of these choices is exactly what you need.
He recommends two software programs: CaptureWiz and Snagit.

But there is a free program that comes with Windows Vista and Windows 7 [I’m not sure about XP] that works fine. When you click it your entire screen goes translucent and your mouse cursor changes to a framing tool. You just left click and drag to frame whatever's on your screen: a section of a webpage in your internet browser, a picture or text in a .pdf or Word document, a part of your desktop or even your entire screen. When you let go of the left-click-drag a window opens up that contains your picture with the option to add text, highlight, copy to the clipboard or save as a .jpg graphic file. Just look under ‘ Start<>Programs<>Accessories for ‘Snipping Tool.’
