PrtScr is a simple and free Windows screen capture tool loaded with features and better control. It brings the features of Snip Tooling available in Windows Vista to previous Windows versions. And, it's far simpler to use than it is to pronounce its name.

It can be used to capture the entire desktop or a defined portion or an active window, which can then be saved on the Desktop or any other specified location. One can also choose to directly mail the captured screen. In case you want to capture the screen after a delay, there are two preset delays of five seconds and 10 seconds. These two presents can be accessed by right-clicking the PrtScr icon docked in system tray.

The application is a must for all non-Vista Windows users. One may also consider installing PrtScr on Vista as Snipping Tool fails to capture the translucent windows commonly used by desktop gadgets.
