A very good shareware product is also used a lot for screenshots at the
client, window or desktop levels - called LView Pro.

It's extremely inexpensive (I think it's $30-$40), and with it running,
you can capture just the client area of any window, the entire window
itself, or the entire desktop, with just two clicks.  It can then be
copied to the clipboard for pasting into any document supporting OLE, or
saved in a variety of graphic formats including Windows Bitmap, GIF, JPEG,
etc.

It can be found at http://www.windows95.com or http://www.tucows.com (and
probably http://www.shareware.com as well).

Best,
Joe
