eLearning Tip: Customizing the Links bar

Here’s a small but simple tip to speed up your workflow for those who must capture custom window sizes without the browser address bar.

From Microsoft Windows | Customizing the Links bar

To enable the Links bar in Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista

Right-click on the Windows Taskbar. Click on Toolbars, and then click Links to select it (a checkmark will be displayed beside it)

You will now see “Links” added just to the left of the system tray on the taskbar.

My addition to this is to hyperlink all your working windows within this small box, then just page through them capturing the screens you need. I found it worked well when reviewing a process with the SME.

Hope this helps reduce some time readjusting windows and pasting addresses into screen capture target browser windows.
