I've seen several screen shot programs floating out there, but why bother with them when Windows 9x has a 'camera' built in? That's right! Hit the Print Screen key right now... nothing will appear to happen. However, now open up a graphics program (like Paintbrush) and hit the paste button. You should find a bitmap of the screen as it was when you hit the Print Screen key! Or, if you just want a screen shot of a particular window (not the whole screen), select the window of which you want a shot and hold onto the ALT key when you press the Print Screen key.
