Snipping Tool captures an image of anything on your desktop, like a photo or a section of webpage. Snipping Tool is available only in the Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 (although versions of it were avaialble in Vista and XP add-ons). The about box lists it as version 6.1.7600.

Summary - Recommended
While it does not have as many features as other programs, such as FastStone Capture ($19.95), it does work well and of course it does a much better job than the old print-screen then edit in Notepad routine.
Printing from the Snipping Tool is not supported, so you must save your snip and open with another program to print.
This snipping tools are really helpful, glad I have stumbled on your blog and learned more about it here.
