Snipping tool

Just discovered a useful little tool in Vista, the snipping tool, and it kind of does what it says on the tin. When you launch it you get a cursor to highlight areas of the screen and the highlighted area is copied in much the same way as Print Screen shortcuts do, except it opens it in its own application and you get to choose the area you will save, not just active window or whole screen. You also have the option to snip a freeform shape too. When you have the area captured you can just save it as png, jpg, gif, or mht.



I know, its not something to get overly excited by, but it could come in useful on support calls for getting part screen shots from users.
