Quick Start
Note: All toolbars shown below have a small set of buttons. You can change the size of buttons on the Options | Preferences | View page. Also some interface details (icons, menus etc.) can slightly differ in different versions of Mr. Captor. But the basic principle stays the same. CaptureMr. Captor provides three ways of capture:
These three ways of capture are discussed below. 1. Capture with help of Menu/Capture BarMain menu has the Capture submenu: 
This submenu has a set of capture commands. Select one of them to start a capture. For example, to start the capture of window(s) click the Windows command. Using one of these commands is equivalent to the pressing of Capture Bar buttons:

2. Using the context menu when the program is in the system trayYour can minimize the program to the system tray by clicking on the 'Minimize Window' button. System tray is a small region at the right bottom screen corner. Minimizing the program into the system tray removes it from the task bar:

To start a capture execute the appropriate context menu command. 3. Hotkey captureThe last and the most powerful capture method is the hotkey capture. Hotkeys is a special keyboard sequences linked with the capture commands. User can press a hotkey at any time when Mr. Captor is running. It causes an execution of corresponding capture command.
