This may seem like an odd question but it has been vexing me for quite some time now.
At work when I do a screen capture and paste it into an email it appears to be compressed and the email is relatively small (few kilobytes most times). Yet all my co-workers do the EXACT same thing and get emails several megabytes big!
All I do is press CTRL-PRINT or ALT-PRINT, depending on the need, and create a new email (Outlook) and press CTRL-V. It is a wonderfully simple 2 step process - there are no intermediate steps.
To my knowledge there is no specialized software installed to do this either nor is installing such software an option (they are down right paranoid where I work).
I have looked at just about every setting I can think of and can see nothing different between my computer and theirs and I have no memory of ever changing a setting to do this yet I get small emails and they don't.
I don't even know where the compressing is being done - it is either at capture time or at paste time (obvious). If there is a way to check the clipboard pre-paste that would be nice.
We use Windows XP.
Does anyone have any idea what has to be done to get my co-workers the same benefit I have?
