If it is your question: How to capture desktop screen or how to take a screenshot of your desktop in Windows 7? then you will get appropriate answer below.

If you are really searching for this on web I just think you are too poor in your basic computer knowledge. Ya, I mean what I am saying. Well I will tell in an easy way you don't even need to download any software from the internet to capture your desktop screen in Windows 7 because in Windows 7 this feature is already intergrated in your operating system itself.

There is a tool called "Snipping Tool" which has a feature of snapping your desktop screen in Windows 7 operating system. It has absolutely fantastic features and I recommend you to use this tool. There are four kinds of Snip shots you can take using this tool:

Free-Form Snip.
Rectangular Snip.
Window Snip.
Full-Screen Snip.

Depending upon your requirement you can select the option. To capture the whole desktop screen select "Full-Screen Snip". If you were aware of this tool this tool before then go to Start menu and in "Search programs and files" box type as "Snipping tool". When you open that tool by going to options you can select your requirement from the following options:

Hide instruction text.

Always copy snips to the clipboard.

Include URL below snips (HTML only).

Prompt to save snips before exiting.

Show screen overlay when Snipping Tool is active.

Selection

Link color: Blue (Choose your convenient).
[Tick] Show selection link after snips are captured.
Press OK and save.

Snipping Tool is integrated only in Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7. This is my desktop screenshot which I took while writing this post using "Snipping Tool".
