Can one take a partial screen shot in Windows 7?

I Googled around, but I couldn't find a good short cut application that would allow me to take the screenshot of an application window( and not the whole desktop). Ideally, I want to focus on the application and then use Ctrl + P or PrintScreen to take the picture, or some other shortcut.
Does such an application exist?

  • How to do this depends on your OS. – Lèse majesté Apr 03 '12 at 05:02

    @ekaj Control-P is normally print, not paste. Control-V is paste. – Paul Apr 03 '12 at 05:18
  • @Paul Thanks for correcting me, I am sorry I got those mixed up. – cutrightjm Apr 03 '12 at 05:19
  • @Sathya Yes, it is a duplicate, but wouldn't it be easier for newer users to find questions with a title such as this, so asking the question again is less likely to occur? When I saw 'partial screenshot', I automatically assumed it was always of a certain portion of the screen.. but that's just me – cutrightjm Apr 03 '12 at 05:25

    @ekaj close as duplicate doesn't (always) imply deletion, if another user searches for the same, they'll run into this this & then move to the dupe question which handles application window screenshot as well as partial screenshot. – Sathyajith Bhat Apr 03 '12 at 06:10

To take a picture of the active window only, hold down the Alt key while before pressing the PrtScr key. This doesn't require additional software, and you can Ctrl + V (paste) it to all you want.
