screen capture utility & multi-entry clipboard

I used to use a screen capture utility that you could use to capture
various parts of the screen, such as the active window, a specific
rectangle on the screen, etc. Each feature available with a different
hotkey combo. It would then automatically save the picture to disk based
on a customizable naming scheme. That utility no longer works under
Windows 7. I know that Windows 7 comes with its own utility called
Snipping Tool, but that's not really as convenient as my old utility,
it's a bit pokey actually. Any free utils that you can suggest?

Also I'm looking for a good free multiple entry clipboard recall
utility. Something that you can capture stuff and it'll automatically
remember them and you can pick and choose from a bunch of recent ones. I
found a utility called PasteCopy.net, but I'm not too sure this one is
for me. Any other suggestions?

I did mention in the original message that that is exactly what I'm
looking for a *replacement* for.

Dear Bob,

I was looking for a similar utility; what you have mentioned below is 7
years old, does it work on Windows 7? (no pun intended).

It may not be (entirely) her fault. It seems she's using some kind of
web-to-Usenet gateway, and it's apparently not doing her any favors.

If she's using a web interface to access Usenet then it's entirely her fault in my book !
Doubly so if she's a Microsoft employee, she ought to know better. She doesn't even
quote the message she's replying to.
Hopeless! :-)

Thanks, this link had two utilities listed for clipboard extenders, one
was PasteCopy.Net which was the one I had tried out previously and
didn't like so much. In fact this one was a bitch to try to uninstall.
Even after uninstalling it, it remained behind, I had to use the manual
delete to get rid of it finally, and then I had eliminate its startup in
the registry!

However, the other utility suggested, M8 Freeclip is perfect! It's even
better than my previous program that I was using under XP, so I'm going
to put this one into my XP laptop too. Thanks!
