It can take still screenshots of an open window, rectangular areas, a free-form area, or the entire screen.It was originally released as a PowerToy for the Microsoft Tablet PC launch on November 7, 2002.The delay function is valuable for taking a screenshot showing context menus, or handles that appear around a graphic object when that object is selected.Without the delay feature it would not be possible to take a screenshot showing context menus and object handles because these disappear when any other item (such as the Snipping Tool itself) is clicked on.
To use the delay feature, one opens the Snipping Tool and sets a delay of a few seconds. Then during that delay one opens the context menu, or selects the object so that its handles appear, and waits for the delay to lapse. At the end of the delay the Snipping Tool automatically becomes active without the user having to click, and therefore the context menu or object handles do not disappear and a screenshot can be taken of them.
