If you want to do it on Windows 7, the steps are different. On Windows 7, first of all, go to Start > All programs > Accessories.

Please right click on Snipping Tool and choose Properties. Next, move to the Shortcut tab, choose the Shortcut key box, and then hit any keyboard key that you want as your shortcut to the program. By doing the step, Windows will define the new shortcut to the Snipping Tool and it will also embed Ctrl + Alt as the prefix to the shortcut.

For those who have assigned the S key to the Snipping Tool, then please press Ctrl + Alt + S to launch, for example. The last thing that you will need to do is to click the Apply button. The Snipping Tool is able to be used to capture text, graphics, and any related annotations and then save them in the format that you want. Microsoft has finally improved how the screenshots are captured, as part of the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17661. Now, there is the option that you can use. This one is the app with the ability to choose portions of what is on a display or capture certain application windows. With it, you are also allowed to create a full screen snip or a free form snip that is not rectangular. Adding a note with a pen or highlighter tool is also simple with the help of the app. The modernized version of the snipping tool is known as Screen Sketch. It was originally introduced as part of Windows Ink Workspace, but it has now been made separately as the app that is able to be updated through the Microsoft Store.

The alt-tab shortcut can be used to switch between applications.
