Screenshots (Windows Tips)

My little sister tipped me off to this Windows tool last year, but here’s an article to walk you through using the Snipping Tool to take screenshots. It’s very handy, and I use it 90% of the time now. Its weakness comes with the cursor and dropdown windows because you use the mouse to select. But for straight screenshots, it’s quick, efficient, and useful.
