There are many utilities, including infranview, that will capture the
content of an open window. Indeed, it can be done just by hitting
ctrl-PrintScreen.

Few, but some, will capture a screen larger than the physical monitor
shows - that is, a virtual screen that a user can see in parts by
moving the scrollbars of a window down.

I vaguely recall one utility that would capture an image of an entire
virtual screen, by moving the scrollbars all the way down, but itself.

Any freeware program that can do this?

The folks at SnagIt ($ware) call it:

Scrolling Window Capture - Capture the contents of a window, including
the part not seen.

What kind of window are you trying to capture?

Most Initial Web pages, which are typically too large for my 17 inch
monitor set to 600 x 800 I believe, to show in their entire-ty.
Consequently, I usually get a firefox window, with scrollbars that
will show me the whole screen, bit by bit, as I move the scrollbars.

Yes, firefox and flashgot etc. can capture a whole page with images. But
they do so by downloading the html page, and each referred to image, as
a set of separate files.

I want to capture the whole screen as one image, in one (for instance
jpeg) file. Why? Because I frequently want to email friends a Webpage,
as on image that will just appear on their screen or they only need
to double click.

Many friends are not computer savey or tolerant enough to download many
attachment files, click on the main html page, and then delete after
viewing.

I find, if I merely send the URL, friends tend not to go there.

url2bmp
http://www.pixel-technology.com/free...ish/index.html

url2bmp is a Windows freeware converting an URL (complete web page) to
an image.

I don't know that the utility will capture the scroll bars, but why
would you need then with an image file as any image editor has its own
built in scrolling features.

I've been looking for a similar (free) program for a long time: I didn't
find anything.

the problem with url2bmp is that you have to guess the final height,
unlike this payware programs that really do the scrolling for you.
For many shots this is not comfortable.

I know I found one programm in an older freeware version which is
uncrippled and can do scrolling screenshots, but I cannot remember
it's name. I have a copy installed at work, maybe tomorrow I can
take a look...

Thorsten

I do not need to `capture' the scroll bars, just mentioned them to
clarify what I meant by a virtual screen.

Unfortunately your freeware, url2bmp, ``needs IE4.1 or higher''. I
removed IE from my computer long ago, and do no want such a thing
on my hard disk. I mentioned in my post, I use firefox.

I realize, some people do not use IE, but keep it on their computer just
for software that requires it for for those darn html help pages, that
all make use have IE to read them.

My current solution, not horrible trouble, is to capture 1 to 3 images of
parts of the entire virtual Web screen. Then I use infranview to create a
`panoramic' image, that combines each of the partial images.
