I was interested in being able to take a screenshot of the screen, or of the active window (as you would do with Alt+PrtSc), using only standard Windows "tools"/scripts. VB Script? PowerShell? No 3rd party software or something like that. You shouldn't have to install anything or need any admin permission that you normally wouldn't have.
The reason for this is for people who have issues on their computer (and who aren't close to computer gurus) would be able to send in a ticket to the helpdesk just using a button on a website for example. For some people to find the right buttons to take a screenshot and attaching it in an email is surprisingly cumbersome.
I found a very nice solution to this but it only works in browsers and not in other application windows: Using HTML5/Canvas/JavaScript to take screenshots
Thanks in advance!
