I just ran through several of the freeware threads and noticed that none seemed to include a screenshot utility. I find I often have a need to take screenshots.

Can some of you Windows users offer names or URLs to some of your favorite screenshot applications.

Thank you...

I don't know if you tried it already, but the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard is one way of doing it.

Faststone capure freware

Thank you, Pattayaman! Allow me to slip a t in your FastStone Capture

Katana- Thank you. I was aware of that option, but prefer one with more functionality: hiding ability, save to multiple file types, etc.

Thank you this beer Chang seems to make me disle.....dislec word blind

You don't need to buy or download anything. Simply press the print Screen key THEN press start/ then Programes/ then Accessories/ then open Paint AND Right click paste.

There you go, you have now printed your screen.

It's definitely in our download section

I was a bit doubting where to put it and it ended up in the windows utilities section instead of the graphics one...

Faststone capure freware

I concur - very flexible.

You should update it with version 5.2

There is a very small program named FSCREEN which don't need any installation and the size is just ~40 kB. Uses the PrtScr Buttom for capture and works excellent

It's not freeware, but if you use ACDSee for your photo needs, it also includes a high-functionality screen grabber.

I don’t understand what all the discussion about programs is?

To get a screenshot all you have to do is CLICK “ Print Screen’

This copies the screen to your clipboard and you can paste it wherever you want

JC- The discussion is because some of us want more control than a full screen shot. We may want a timer, or to be able to select a small portion of our screen, or we might want our screenshot fed to us in one of numerous file formats....

Thank you to all for your contributions. Any one else have a favorite?

Reimar- Thanks! FSCREEN loaded on a thumbdrive would probably be ideal for use in Internet cafes.

I dunno if you mean this sort of thing, but I use MS Snap Shot (freeware. Great, very functional, also easily put in task bar for rapid access, when you open the program (and doesn't remain there) when you close the program

Not free, well unless.....
