    Look in this thread about half way down alkohol posts a pic showing how to do the "fancy stuff" with paint. The program in most windows computers usually hides under start>all programs>acessories>paint

    Give it a shot. It is real easy to use, and works just fine once you figure out a few basic things, like that thread, and this one shows.

    @Maxburn - I've played around in Paint and it seems pretty easy and fun as well but I have another question: why is the picture cropped when you resize it in the attributes? for example, I took a full screen shot but only 1/2 of it was viewable. Is there a way to resize it and keep the full screen shot preferably without losing quality? Thanks.

    Most of the time i don't need a full screen capture, so i move what i want to capture to the upper left of my screen before doing the capture. I am sure you could run the full screen capture thru some picture size reduction program, but i don't know how to do it in paint. You might try that free program listed MWSnap as it may be able to do what you asked about. I never needed a full screen shot, and it would be too big to post here anyway. The main reason to use paint, is because it is quick and easy. For most things, you open a program,(that doesn't fill the screen) and move it to upper left of screen, open up part you want to show, and do a capture, change attribute so pic will fit, add your comments and drawings, save pic, and host at site. Anything else, and you are going to have to do some experimenting. I am at work, so i cant get back to this thread for a while.
