Get a screenshot on Windows 8 with a shortcut or automatically with your own exe

Windows offers many ways to have one screenshot χωρίς τη χρήση εργαλείων τρίτων. Θα σας παρουσιάσουμε δύο από τους πιο εύκολους και χρήσιμους. Πάρτε ένα screenshοt από την γραμμή εντολών ή με μια ειδική using Windows 8 built-in functionality.

screenshot

As you may know, you can take a picture of your screen in Windows 8 by pressing the Win + keys Print Screen at the same time. Your screen will slightly dim for half a second, and will return to normal brightness when the photo you took is saved to C:\Users\username\\Screenshots

You can of course automate this function, using special scripting. AutoHotkey will easily do the work for you as long as you create one first script which you will later convert to an executable file.
The script which you later use in AutoHotkey will write the following:

#NoTrayIcon Send # {PrintScreen}

Create a new txt file, write and save the above text.

Delete the .txt suffix from the file name and add the .ahk suffix

The exe you create from the above script will press the Win + keys Print Screen automatically, and so, you will have it screenshot you are interested.
To convert it script in executable file, you should install it AutoHotkey from here. Run the program and compile it script to exe. This was once you created your first program (executable file)!

Alternatively, you can download the .exe that we created in iGuRu.gr for you.

The tweak only works on Windows 8 - 8.1 systems.

Download the file and create a shortcut to your computer's task bar for easy use
