Is there any such application that will store multiple screen captures (not just text)?
@Robert : You can use Techsmith Snagit for automatically storing screen captures.
Doh, it would have to be trialware, wouldn't it. Thanks
So much for that. Snagit locked up the system (XP) whenever I tried to do something in Windows Explorer (ie: right-click a file, create a folder, etc.)
Well that's strange. Did you use the original version ?
