The 86th most popular system tool on Windows

Snipping Tool is an application included in premium editions of Windows Vista and Experience Pack for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, as well as the Windows 7 Beta. The program is a screen-capture tool that allows taking screenshots (called snips) of windows, rectangular areas, or a free-form area. Snips can then be annotated, saved (as an image file or HTML page), or e-mailed.

    I love this. It's quick and easy, and less time-consuming that having to Print Screen and use an image editing software. With Snipping Tool, I just select the part of the screen I want, and then save it.

    I seriously can't work without this nifty tool! It does what it needs to do quickly and perfectly. No bloat. Possibly, one of the few nice things about Vista.

    There are better alternatives but this app is included in the Operating System's software package and that makes it really special.

    It's useful when I want to share something, but it would be even more useful if I could share the snips instantaneously with a website or something.

    Very useful when I don't want to print the whole screen.
