Capture Screenshots: Windows key + S key
All along I’ve been using this cumbersome process to capture a portion of my screen:
Print Screen Key
Paste to Paint
Crop picture in Paint
Cut/paste to email or save
Today I accidentally ran across the Window+S shortcut which allows me to capture a portion of my screen and pastes it automatically to the clipboard and to OneNote.
Warning – this may be available only in Windows Vista Ultimate, not sure
ETA: Thanks everyone for the feedback! Alfred tested this for us and it is actually a OneNote 2007 feature and works in Vista and XP.

This is a OneNote 2007 feature. I tested it on XP and it works there are well. It wasn't there with previous versions of OneNote - I tested that too. The option I use a lot with Vista is the Snipping tool. I have it on my launch bar so I can get to it easily. I especially love it for capturing a window but it is also great for part of the screen.Anonymous

Yes. Keep OneNote active in your SystemTray and you can take easy screenshots with WindowsKey + s. Saves tons of time. Good luck.Anonymous
