Windows: Print a scrolling window using PicPick

Most of us know how to capture a full screenshot or a region or a window but how to capture a scrolling window?

Well, PicPick is the best, as per me, tool available for that purpose. It helps you capture a scrolling window, offline and online.

For instance, here is a screenshot of the list of system management tools in Windows 7, that I took using PicPick for this post.

Moreover, after installing PicPick, when you use the key Print Screen (PrtSc) to take a full screenshot, you don't have to paste it in Paint to print. PicPick automatically prints the screenshot right away.

In fact, you can take sevaral screenshots of all kinds and PicPick would keep printing them in sevaral tabs in the same window. At the end, you can do all the edits you need to do and decide which ones to save. This helps me a lot when I'm to write a post which requires screenshots of all steps. In fact, there is also an option of 'Save All.'

You can download it, here.

Access all system management tools in Windows effortlessly

In Windows, there is a hidden function which allows all system management tools (usually spread through control panel, computer management, administration tools etc) to be conveniently accessed from a single place. It is called as GodMode.

GodMode is not a plugin, or a software. To activate a GodMode shortcut, you just need to create a new folder and rename it to a specific file name with a code.

Create a new folder anywhere on your Desktop and rename the folder from 'New Folder' to this exact code:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}


You can also rename the folder to anything you want by replacing 'GodMode' by the desired name in the above code.




















Just hit enter and your GodMode shortcut will get created. The folder icon will resemble like that of Control Panel.














You can now access all the functions and tools from one place which are originally intended to be available only to Microsoft developers.





















An expanded list of GodMode is shown below in the screenshot. This code works for all Windows OS including XP, Win 7 as well as Win 8.  
PS: In case you wish to know how I printed this whole list in the scrolling window, read this.

How to Run Turbo C/C++ in full screen in Windows 7, 8

Turbo C/C++ doesn't run in full screen in Windows 7, 8.
To get rid of this, most people use DOSBox but that will get your Turbo C/C++ to work slower and file handling codes won't work.

There is yet another simpler and better way as a solution. Here's what you do:


  • Open Turbo C/C++. Click on the uppermost left corner icon of the window.
  • Click on Properties.
  • Go to Font tab.
  • Choose font as Lucida Console.
  •  From list of font size, choose 28.
  • Go to Layout tab.
  • Uncheck ‘Let system position window’.
  • Now, do the following changes:
    • For screen buffer size:
                                   width: 80
                                   height: 25
    • For window size:
                                   width: 80
                                   height: 25
    • For window position:
                                   left: -4
                                   top: -4

    • Click on OK.
