In addition to Jeff's advice, if you want to do this a lot, consider SnagIt
(Techsmith). With the XP screen capture you have to edit the image in paint
to reduce the file size for the attachment, but in SnagIt you can capture
screen areas directly. Just a thought.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the
screen. But in all versions of Windows, this works differently,
and the name of the key is now an anachronism.
To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire
screen, or press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active
window. Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard.
Once it's in the clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any
application that supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics
programs, even your favorite word processor). You can edit or add
to the image as you wish, then print it, E-mail it, or do
whatever you want.

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard (iow, into RAM). To view the screen capture, open a
graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will
paste the contents of the clipboard (your screenshot) into the open
file, and allow you to view it or save it as a file for later use.

Not till after I replied with the new link. ;-} I've a bad habit of
replying before reading the entire thread. (Also, the error pointed
out was in my earlier post, so I felt obligated to provide the correct
information.)
