printkey.exe - by Alfred Bollinger .
I have had it on every one of my PC's since Win95.
It's small - works GREAT !
I put it in my startup and runs in systray.

In OPTIONS, you can define :
which key to use,
capture 'window' or 'desktop',
color or B&W
save as - choose any filetype,
etc

I can't find original website, but see it here:

Can't you just press ALT+PrtScrn and save the result as a JPG?

You do know that ALT+PrtScrn records the current active window/dialog box,
right? PrtScrn records the entire screen, but ALT+PrtScrn just records the
dialog box that is open.

On winblows, one can do alt or ctrl prtscrn and paste it into MS Paint then
save it as a bmp.

Something else would have to be used to convert it to jpg, AFAIK.

You can ALT+PRTSCRN and paste the results into Windows Photo Editor which
saves to a JPG by default. I'm sure one could do the same with a photo
editor such as IrfanView.

Grabbing the screen shot is the easy part, processing it through your
favorite photo editor is the hard part, and that's easy. IrfanView is free,
MSoft Photo Editor is a fee program that comes with Office.

Can anyone suggest a good free portable screen capture
program that can be carried and run independantly with
a thumb drive?

Thanks!

Okay, this one for yucks: Use a digital camera. Don't have to even
connect it to the computer to snapshot its monitor output. Don't have
to install software. Don't have to get stuck on a system that doesn't
let you run unauthorized processes (i.e., they whitelist the allowed
processes and all others are blocked). Don't have to do something
you're not supposed to on a kiosk host. Don't even need a login to the
host whose monitor you are snapshotting. About as independent as you
can get.

Not free, but it has 30 day free functional trial. Does menus.

Hi VanguardLH

I have a not-so-young neighbour who does exactly that! It works!

Oh. Perhaps not so portable...
