Windows’ screen-capture features not good enough? Try FastStone Capture. It’s free, and works pretty good. It sits by the taskbar clock unnoticed until you need it (assuming you disable the annoying “capture toolbox that hovers around your screen). FastStone capture takes screenshots of the entire screen, the active window, a rectangular region, a freehand region, or my favorite: a scrolling window. All these can be invoked through the taskbar icon or with keyboard shortcuts. Depending on how you configure it, FastStone Capture will either auto-save the file, prompt you for a location, send it to the clipboard, or take it to a built-in editor for some basic editing (crop,resize,etc). Not bad for a free screencap program, right?
