Need to screen capture display after pressing ALT+TAB

[Murad Sheikh]

I need to capture the display box that appears after pressing the ALT+TAB.
(used to switch between applications). When I check the clip; it shows the
desktop picture and I cant seem to capture the actual box showing current
open application icons.

There are screen shots other folks have captured.

I tried to capture the screen, I have SnagIt, the screen didn't stay active long
enough for me to get it.
Maybe Microsoft's PowerToy might be an answer.

Hi Murad,

Possibly not the 'coolest' way to do it, but one that works <g>.
Windows Alt+Tab display 'leaves' the screen on the press of pretty
much any other key, including a hotkey you set for capturing.

You can use http://www.irfanview.com and set the capture (press 'C'
while in the app) and set the capture to fullscreen and have it
capture to a folder at a fixed interval of every 4 seconds or so.
Then activate your Alt+Tab screen and keep it on screen until you
hear the 'capture' sound, then go back to Irfanview and stop the
capture (press C again).

You can then open and crop the pictures you captured to fit your
needs.
