The most spectacular feature that Windows vista and 7 has is the Snipping tool which allows the user to take a screenshot of the display with the help of a tool. The tool lets us to capture the exact part of the screen which we want by letting us snipping or resizing it.This is some luxury which XP users cannot afford since microsoft has only released this -->

So for normal xp users here is a technique which will somehow help to achieve the features of a normal snipping tool ..just like in windows vista or 7.
The only prerequisite for this tip is Microsoft Onenote.
First here is an example of how a normal Snipping tool works ->
Now i am gonna show the exact same job done using Microsoft Onenote 2007.
First we need to start Microsoft Onenote from windows logo --> All Programs -->Microsoft Office --> Microsoft Onenote
Then minimize the Onenote window and then type Windows Button + S , this will activate the Microsoft Screen Clipping Tool . Then you clip the portion of the screen just like the normal snipping tool and produce this -->
But this clip is saved under the microsoft onenote format.We need to have this in an image format .
For this we open the saved onenote file --> right click --> save --> PNG or JPG
And then we have it ...
So guys who are using windows xp donot need to worry about the same Alt+Printscreen shit to capture and fully clipped screenshot, neither you have to worry about any free snipping tool . Microsoft Onenote does fullfill your necessities with style . So enjoy snipping .............:)
