I use TinyResMeter which just requires you to press the print screen button and it automatically saves the screenshot as a bmp image in its folder. I don't need anymore than that as any cropping/editing I do with IrfanView

I use Paint.NET a lot when I do screen caps.

I use MWsnap which seems OK.

The last free version of Faststone Capture. Never had a need for anything else.

Thanks to all. I checked out these suggestions and have pretty much decided on Faststone Capture -- although it's not a freebie (shareware). It's very straight-forward and clean -- and easy on resources. I've only used it for a day or two, but it seems to do everything that I need (and more).

Use the link Dennis provided for the free version

Thanks, JD, I missed that. For some reason, I didn't use the link from Dennis -- rather, I just went to their site.

Or go here and get the portable version of Faststone Capture. It's the second program listed. http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?so=p
