Automatic save of screen question

I can save a specific screen by clicking on print scrn and using
Start->Programs->Accessories->Paint
and clicking on select->edit->paste
file->save as

I would like to have an option to save the screen that I have with new name every time that I like without doing this long process by one click on PrinyScrn and I would like to know if it is possible to do it.

name of the file should not be a problem and the first screen can be saved as xxx1.jpg when the second screen can be saved as xxx2.jpg when generally screen n can be saved as xxxn.jpg

I think that it may be interesting to see chess source code not only in the final form but also during the construction of it and I think that there is more chances that we are going to see it if people have an easy way to save screens during the process.

Perhaps a version control system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control) is more up to the task then a list of jpg files of the PC screen.

There is a screen capture program called Screen Hunter.

It has an Auto Save Timer which is explained here: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/18714.html

OR

If you want a manual print screen and Auto Rename then: http://www.americansys.com/ps.htm

Both are free!

IrfanView, a nice free file viewer to have anyway, has command line options that I think will what you want. It can do a screen capture and save the file with a name containing the time. There is an example in the help info.
