Atl+PrtScrn captures the current window only instead of the whole screen. For those of us with large screens and lots of windows open it helps a great deal.

I've been using MSPaint and nothing but MSPaint to deal with screen caps since Windows 98, the first Windows I ever used.... I can't believe you didn't realise this till now.
