Hi GradeAbra,

See section 5 of the tutorial for details on how to turn this feature on or off. You can change the colour of this border if you wish.

Hi GradeAbra,

I don't think that you can port this tool over to XP from Vista, however have a look at this for XP Snippy

Hi Gradeabra,

You might prefer this free app. I use it on Vista and Win 7 in preference to the snipping tool.

Features

A small floating Capture Panel that can be dragged anywhere or minimized to the Windows tray area
Resource friendly - uses a very small amount of memory, especially when minimized to the Windows tray area
Global hotkeys to activate the program's capture capabilities anytime, anywhere
Efficient tools to capture windows, objects, full screen, rectangle/freehand-selected regions and scrolling areas
Capture web pages in Microsoft Internet Explorer, FireFox and Opera
Option to specify destination (internal editor, clipboard, file or printer) where the captured image will be sent
Text/Arrowed line/Highlight/Watermark annotation
Drop-shadow, torn-edge effects
Add caption
Resize, crop, zoom in/out
Undo/Redo
Save as BMP, JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, GIF, TIFF, TGA and PDF
Send e-mails
Screen magnifier, Screen color picker
Multi-monitor support
Option to run when Windows starts
And many more ...

FastStone Capture 5.3 free download. FastStone Capture is powerful, flexible and intuitive screen-capture utility.

Hello Dwarf, I just want to say thank you so much, your article on Snipping Tool is a great help, very informative, even though the term snipping tool is a sissy phrase. Your a real hero, thanks bro, robert, San Fran.
