Default What can you do on Windows 10 that you can't do on Windows XP or Windows 7?

This is the first I've ever heard of it. Pressing PrtScr
puts a desktop screenshot on the clipboard.
Pressing Ctrl + Prt Scr puts an active window screenshot
on the clipboard. That can then be pasted into any
graphic editor and cropped.

To think of "snipping tool"
as a new function is like thinking of built-in ZIP as a
new function: It's there, but only the least experienced
people, who never actually use ZIP files, would be
without a real ZIP program. The least of those is still
better than the confusing windows ZIP functionality
that shows a ZIP as a folder.


I can understand why you think of it as confusing, but personally I
think showing it as a folder is a good idea. It lets you open it as you
would open a folder and use the files within it (mostly) as you would
the files in a folder.


The zip archive icon is different, compared to a folder icon.
