How To Take Snapshot Of Start Menu Or Context Menu Using Snipping Tool In Windows 7 (Hidden Feature Of Snipping Tool)
Posted January 18, 2010 – 5:58 pm in: Windows 7 TweaksProbably every Windows user is familiar with the Snipping Tool present in the Windows 7 and Vista. Although most users know how to take a snapshot using the Snipping tool, many of them don’t know how to take a snapshot of the Start menu or a context menu using the same tool.
Have your ever tried to take the snapshot of the desktop context menu (right-click menu)? Chances are that you were not successful in doing so. Because, by default, you can’t take the snapshot of a context menu or the Start menu using the Windows Snipping Tool.
Here is how to take snapshot of a context menu or the Start menu in Windows 7:
1. Launch the Snipping Tool.
2. Press Esc button to minimize it.
3. Now, open Start menu or a context menu that you want to take the snapshot.
4. Press Ctrl + Print Screen keys to take the snapshot of the opened Start menu or context menu.
5. Save the snapshot and you are Done!
