Can I setup a keyboard shortcut for taking screenshots in Windows 7?

@Kathy - Yes you can. These instructions work for Windows 7.

Then, I do not understand how the hot key works. I have Clarify open, I navigate to the screen I want to capture, I press the hot key (ctrl+shift) and nothing happens. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

@Kathy - You need to enter an additional key to press along with ctrl + shift. For example, the '2' key on your keyboard. That would make the hot key 2 + ctrl + shift. Try that.
