Just came across this and thought it might be useful for those that haven't discovered it yet.

In Windows 7 under the Accessories menu there is the Snipping Tool. This allows you to draw a square or a freeform shape on your current screen and save it as an image.

Beats doing a print screen then editing out the area you need, could be useful for 'borrowing' images from other sites to use in sig making.

its also available in windows vista

Yeah it took me a while to find but one day when i was bored i found it. And i was like this is awesome, i knew there was a reason i upgraded to W7!
