Yes, I'm aware that most decent imaging programs can perform window screen
shots.  However, those using those particular features can sometimes be
intimidated by the  learning curve.  Because the image was going to be a
thumbnail only, the difference between using a screen shot and the window
capture feature of an imaging program would be unnoticeable, in my opinion.
The method I described is also the fastest way to do it.  I did not go into
detail on how to save it as a JPEG or GIF because I didn't think that was
what the person was asking.  Why you had to send a critical message when I'm
just trying to help is beyond me.  Why not just offer your solution without
"correcting" mine?  Sheesh.
