Windows 98 – Bequeme Screenshots von einzelnen Fenstern

If you want to use images or graphics for presentations, help hotlines or websites Screenshots from Windows nothing is easier than that. You set up the desired view and press the Print or PrintScreen button on the keyboard. If you now click on Paste in Paint, PhotoImpact or Word, for example, you will get an exact copy of the screen. However, sometimes the screen is overcrowded or/and only one window should be visible, e.g. the desktop. In this case, you had to laboriously crop and save the desired window with an image editing program, which in the long run is a loss of time, which I am now putting an end to.
