The Windows Vista Snipping tool is a great feature available in Windows Vista and now Windows Seven. I love how easy it is to use. You simply open the Snipping Tool by finding it under the accessories section in the start menu and start taking screenshots of anything on your screen. After you have done this you can add text or arrows to your picture that you have captured.

The one problem I have found though, was that when you want to take a screenshot of a drop down or popup menu, it will not do it…Ahh but don’t panic, I have a solution for you. Watch this video to see this and other little tricks.

If you have a slow internet connection, press play on the video, then press pause and let it load, then press play again when you see the red bar is loaded.
