My comments and 2˘ on the subject... If a bitmap satisfies your requirement for an image of the entire screen, you don't need additional software to accomplish this. With the image you want on the screen, press the "Print Screen" key (captures image to the Windows Clipboard). Open Paint (Start \ Programs \ Accessories \ Paint) and go to "Edit" and select "Paste." Next, go to "File," select "Save As," name and "Save" the file where ever you want. In Windows 9x, you can only save in Bitmap format and the file weighs in at a heavy 1.37 MBħ. Windows XP has Paint version 5.1 and has options for saving the file in BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, or PNG format (another + for XP?). A screenshot of my Desktop using Paint in XP and saving as a JPEG resulted in a 800x600 40.6 KB image. I use Capture Express 2000 for capturing screenshots. In addition to saving images in BMP, JPEG, or GIF format, you have options of saving in several different shapes. The really nice feature is that you can capture any portion of the screen... For example, you can take shots of your Quick Launch bar, System Tray, windows like the System Properties window, either whole or in part. That's nice if you want to send someone information about your system and show them exactly what you're talking about. You can check it out here http://www.captureexpress.com/ with a download link to CNET. It's Shareware ($15) with a 30 day trial. If you'd like a screenshot or more information from me, feel free to shoot me an e-mail at the addy below. If you'd like to hide the icons on your Desktop for the purpose of capturing WebShots, or for an unobstructed view of your wallpaper, Iconoid is a small (361 KB Zip file download) that will do just that.
