Snipping tool note


    I already wrote about how I like the utility Snipping Tool . But she has one drawback: to take a picture, you need to click somewhere ... which means that all open menus of all programs immediately close (because they lose focus). 
    For example - there is no way to take a picture of the open “Start menu”.
    Fortunately, there is a solution. It turns out that this utility has an undocumented hotkey ... Here's how to proceed!
    1. Open the “Snipping tool”. She immediately selects the entire screen (whitened). 
    2. Click “cancel”.
    3. Open the menu you need. For example, “Start menu”.
    4. Press the magic “button combination” - “Ctrl” + “Print Screen”. Voila! The whole screen is “frozen”. 
    5. Now you can choose from the list next to the “New” button what exactly you need to screenshot and save.
