Re: [TECH]:: WINDOWS 11 SCREENSHOTTING

Thanks Ross,

I also use  Irfanview  frequently and never realised that Win 10  had that
capability.
Just tried it out and it works even better than  Irfanview  and is always
ready.
Is it built in or part of Power Tools?
Either way I am pleased that you educated us.

Cheers
Chris
