How to take a screenshot of a selected portion of your screen in windows Don't tell me snipping tool I want something similar to mac (command+control+shift+4) which is very fast to copy and paste a selective portion of a screen

This past weekend I upgraded to Version 1607, OS Build 14393.187, the anniversary build, and the snipping tool is saving files to my desktop, where I want them saved, but they are hidden. This problem occurred a few months ago after a clean reinstall--I don't remember how I solved it, but F5...

Hey Guys! So when I went to bed last night my pc was functioning perfectly, with no issues what so ever. When I turned it on today it was the opposite. Something has obviously been corrupted or changed by malware. I have a feeling the issue could be service related but was hoping someone here...

My snipping tool was OK until a fairly major update on Win10 a few days ago. It will only work on my console background, for everything else it appears as if the film which occurs when active is too thick to see thro. If you guess and try to snip all you get is black. I've used the disk...

Hi I normally use the snipping tool but that doesn't work with open menus or Metro. I'm pretty sure that it's doing it, I see a brief burst of hard drive activity when I hit the Print Screen button. But I can't figure out where they go, since I don't know what they are called I can't search...

Hi, After 23 Windows updates were installed a few days ago (to Windows 8.1 PC) I noticed a couple of things 1. Most of the 3rd party programs I had added to start screen had disappeared 2. Most of the Windows Accessories had disappeared from 'Apps' screen under 'Windows Accessories' (this...

I have a problem that I've never experienced before in XP, Vista and Windows 7. I have researched the problem but the only thing I can find is how to turn on and turn off the "jump to" default button pointer setting. In the past, the jump to feature worked as intended but appx. two weeks ago I...

It's funny how it is the small things that you miss most when returning to an older OS. Apparently, it's not possible to install the Snipping Tool from MS on XP, so I have been Googling some for an alternative. However on everything that I have found so far, those alternative apps fall short...

Out of the blue, the Windows 7 Snipping Tool no longer lets me Save. I am still able to Copy the graphic to the Clipboard (which is usually what I want anyway), but the Save feature is not working. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I scanned with Malwarebytes, Avast and CCleaner just a couple...

Hi I know there must be a way but I can't do it with Snip, Fraps, or Print Screen. None of them will work on the start screen. I wanted to show that I haven't completely ignored my start menu. LOL I think I asked this before and got an answer but I looked through my old posts and can't...

Capturing on the Mac is extremely fast in that you just press Alt Shift 4, aim and snap, it automatically saves it with the date and time as the name of the file. How can you automatically save what you captured right after you captured it, with the name automatically set to the date and...

Instead of snipping tool naming everything "Capture" I want it to name pictures after the unix time code. Is this possible?

Hi When I hit on a video link and it opens in the video app, it has a play button in the middle and a lot of other stuff like a progress bar on the scree. These don't disappear when the video is playing. How do you get it to just show the video full screen without all the stuff on top...

I was trying to upload a graphic to one of the threads in the forum and the wait symbol kept running. I checked the allowable file sizes to see if it might be related, then checked the size of the files I was attempting to upload. These numbers seem a little strange, so if anyone has any...

Hello, I just can't use the Snipping Tool to take a picture at wherever I want in the screen.... For example when I open up Internet Explorer and then I will open up Snipping Tool to take a snap shot from something in the website... - While I am running Internet Explorer, I press the Start...

When I first started using this great little tool, it worked perfectly. :pI don't know why it has changed as things change and update daily, so I could not identify a time frame for the problem, and it seems intermittent. The problem is when I start to drag the frame, it immediately crops...

What's your favorite 7 feature..........., ok, what's your 5 favorite Windows 7 Features, I know, 1 just doesn't cover it. For me; 1. The "Snipping Tool" 2. Themes 3. The "Taskbar" and all it's glory 4. Speed 5. Everything Link Removed Well, I guess that covers it for me, how about the rest of...

I've only been using Win 7 for a week, after reluctantly installing it on a new PC. I'd have stuck with XP if only it was able to make use of more memory and could make use of all the features of my processor and SSD hard drive. So, Win 7 it had to be. At least I managed to avoid the torture of...
