Microsoft Windows or commonly-said
‘Windows’ is a bunch of many programs. It is an operating system that
is designed by Microsoft. On the other hand ‘Windows Vista’ is also a major
operating system developed by Microsoft itself. The work processes of these

screenshots on both of these settings, you have to follow the methods
similarly.

‘Fix’. There you can edit the saved screenshot. This feature is not available in
Windows XP.
