ScreenJot, you can hit Ctrl-Shift-5 and get a little crop tool, so you can grab just a section of the screen. This will
drop a BMP into a folder called "scraps" on your desktop. While I wish it would save something more useful
(like a JPEG), that problem is easily solved with any of the dozens of batch conversion tools out there...[Thanks dave!]
