A Snipping Tool windows appears and you can start taking screen shots right away.
Click the drop-down arrow next to New button and choose the way you'll be doing the screen shot.
Free-form Snip: you can can mark the area you want to take a screen shot anyway you like, you just draw the are with your mouse. Rectangular Snip: you can mark the rectangular area using your mouse. Window Snip: just select the windows you want to capture (you can do the similar by pressing Alt+PrtSc when the window you wan't to capture is active) Full-screen Snip: like the name says it, it's a screen shot of your entire screen (similar to pressing the PrtSc key)
I'm going to choose the Rectangular Snip.
