Greenshot

Greenshot is a great alternative for SnagIt.  SnagIt is a great screen capture tool and I highly recommend it for a commercial enviornment.  But it’s one of those tools that is nice having it on a home system that you are doing sidework.  Greenshot is open source and has an executable that installs on any Windows platform.  Its a basic set of tools similar to SnagIt to perform screen capture operations; but if you are looking for pretty advance features stick to the commercial leader SnagIt.

I have listed this tool under the RESOURCES web page on my blog.
