Initial Problem:

Vista has a great tool to make screenshots very easily. This tool is called the 'Snipping tool'.
Using this tool you can make screenshots of your screen or a selection of it very easily.

Solution:

This tool can be found at:

• Start
• Programs
• Accessories
• Snipping Tool

Using this tool you can make screenshots in several ways, for example you can make a:

• Free-form snip
• Rectangular snip
• Window snip
• Full screen snip

Below you find a screenshot I made using the 'free-form snip'. So if you need to make a screenshot of something on your screen you can use this tool for it.

You can save your screenshot by using the Save As... option.
