[THIN] Download Pick: Snippy Snipping Tool For Windows XP

The Snipping Tool first introduced in Windows XP Tablet edition experience pack and now part of Windows Vista is a useful tool to capture and copy a portion of your computer screen to paste into blogs and documents.

It is a basic replacement for the Printscreen method of copying and pasting a portion of the screen which is not as granular and gives you a larger item when you paste it. I've seen lots of questions about how to get this functionality under the regular XP version. Snippy is the answer.
 
Read about Snippy for Windows XP and where to get it at the below link:
 
 
On the snippy page he does also suggest that it can be made to work with earlier versions of windwows (2000, me, 98) after installing VDI extensions.
