It is often useful to take screenshots, especially when submitting a ticket about an error that has popped up. The snipping tool is an easy to use solution:


  • Open your start menu (in the lower left corner of the screen click on the windows logo) and click Snipping Tool at the top
  • Click and drag the area you would like to take a picture of. Note: it will not show the snipping tool box if it's inside the area you're selecting.
  • You can click the Save icon to name and save the screenshot. 









If the snipping tool is not in your start menu, please follow the steps below:

  • Open your start menu, then choose "All Programs"
  • Click "Accessories", then scroll down to Snipping Tool. Right click Snipping Tool and choose "Pin to Start Menu"
  • The Snipping Tool will now be easily accessible from your Start Menu.
