What do you do when you want to capture a screen shot, part of it or some window on windows machine? Don’t you press “Print Screen” button on a key board then do paste into mspaint and do the required capture, highlight or marking? If you have a windows 7 and you still do it this way only, then let me tell you ‘You live in stone era’. Don’t you know about Snipping Tool?
Snipping tool is a free and simple screen capturing tool which comes built in with windows 7. This is another good built tool in Windows 7.

Click windows button and start typing “snipping tool” > You will see “Snipping tool” under Programs. > Right click on it and select ‘Pin to Start Menu‘ or ‘Pin toTask Bar’ so that you can find it immediately when you need it.
