Jim,
If you want to capture only the active window, do a ALT PrintScreen. Then
you don't get the entire desktop.

Have you also tried posting to one of the windows discussion groups? They
are accessed by account news:news.microsoft.com
The discussion groups are sometimes available on other servers but I found
that I got the best responses by setting up a newsreader account directly
to news.microsoft.com


What the hell do you think you mean by having "an account" to a USENET news
server? It is completely public access; kind of like an RSS feed. One
"subscribes" to it and absolutely NO provider has any control or even
notification of your "subscription" as such, it resides entirely on the
accessing computer.


Well, no it isn't. The usenet is out there, but to the best of my knowledge
you need an isp to access it. The isp keeps whichever groups it feels like
archiving on its own servers.... and you need an account to access that
server.

If you know of a way to get the raw feeds, I surely would like to know
about it.
