Tutorial Stop

Windows 7 and Vista both shipped with the “Snipping Tool.”  I loved the Snipping Tool in Vista, but the love affaire quickly ended when the tool failed over-and-over again to launch.  This is fixed in Windows 7. 

The Snipping Tool offers 4 kinds of screenshots:

1. Windows Snip
2. Rectangular Snip
3. Full-Screen Snip
4. and Free-Form Snip

You can also use the Snipping Tool to edit the screenshot via the pen, highlighter, and eraser tools. 

To launch the Snipping tool, click on the Windows 7 icon and type “Snipping” in the search box.  Click on the “Snipping Tool” option.  The tool can also be found in the Start menu under the “Accessories.”
