Windows Me - Convenient screenshots of the individual windows

Quick overview:

Wenn Sie für Präsentationen, Hilfehotlines oder Webseiten Bilder bzw. Screenshots von Windows brauchen so ist nichts leichter als das. Man stellt sich die gewünschte Ansicht zurecht und betätigt den Druck bzw. PrintScreen Knopf auf der Tastatur. Wenn man nun beispielsweise in Paint, PhotoImpact oder Word auf Einfügen klickt so erhält man eine genaue Kopie des Bildschirmes. Nur ist dieser manchmal überfüllt oder/und es sollte nur ein Fenster zu sehen sein wie z.B. der Arbeitsplatz. In diesem Falle musste man mühsam mit einem Bildbearbeitungsprogramm das gewünschte Fenster zuschneiden und speichern, was auf die Dauer ein Verlust von Zeit ist, dem ich nun ein Ende mache.

1. Open the desired window, e.g. the Internet Explorer version information (?/Info) and hold down the ALT key.

2. Now press the press button and let go. Instead of a chaos image, which you made with the usual push button...

...you now have a window that has already been cleanly cut out.

I hope you enjoyed this tip. It's nothing special but for some people it saves time.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
