PrtScn but just one monitor?

    I have 2 monitors. I find it dead handy to hit print screen and then just Ctrl+V into Thunderbird when sending emails.

    My problem? I have 2 monitors - so it takes an image of the second one as well and attaches that. Is there a way to configure this button (or something??) to make it only take the main monitor with the PrtScn?

    Thanks

    If you use alt+prtsc, you can take a screenshot of just the active window. Don't know if that's useful.

    I think this is a great tool....

    Once you have installed (set to run on start up) you hit the prtscrn button to activate it. Dead handy!

    Great tip Calex71, I've been using Vista for a year and a half and I never knew about that :)

    I have read in several places that alt printscreen takes a screen print and I used to wonder why they said to use alt when the print screen does what you need.

    Question answered so!
