Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

It's basically a super-powered Screen Shot tool. Lets you take screen shots of specific areas on your screen, either in a rectangular shape, or in free form "draw to outline" type shapes. Useful for setting up directions for some of my older clients, so they have a picture to go with the "Click the blue scan button" text *Smile . Anything past Vista has it, but the 10 version added the ability to print directly from the program, as well as a "Delay" function, so you can do things like bring up menus or use hotkeys, and then screen shot that.
