Yeah I use MS Paint for saving screenshots every day.

A lot of people seem to think the best way to send a screenshot is to paste the image into a .doc and email it - I don't know why, but it irritates me a little bit.

For some bizarre reason the some of the people at work like to take the screenshot, paste it into a .doc, print it out and then scan it into an email (we have software that attaches a scanned document to an email) then send me the email.

It has taken me almost a year but I have finally managed to get them to just paste the screenshot into the email and send it to me.

I had to actually write a "How-to" document to get them to do it though.



And this is one of the many, many, many reasons why I think you should have to have some sort of licence to use a computer in the workplace.

Workaround

I once worked on a friend's dad's computer. He had the hard drive divided into eight partitions, C: through H:, with a 'Documents' directory tree on each one. Each new file appeared to be saved to a partition at random. I knew enough not to ask.

Press the Windows key and then type snipping (Windows Vista and 7).

My wife uses that constantly. I tend to paste the entire screen into paint and trim down the edges, mostly because of habit and I tend to forget the snipping tool exists.

Mmm, Deluxe Paint IV. Shame it didn't really take off on the PC, it was a great program.
