I thought i'd elaborate on this to show you how much of a reduction you can get in size of the final screen shot.
Download www.irfanview.com and plugins...
prnt-scr -> open irfanview -> ctrl-v to paste image -> use mouse to highlight only area you want to show -> ctrl-Y to crop that area -> ctrl-R to resize it to 450-575pixels for forums -> save as -> jpeg -> options set at 65-75% quality

I used 65% jpeg quality on all below screen shots.
Full Desktop:
* prnt scr -> paste into irfanview -> jpeg 65% quality -> save as =
191kb
* print scr -> paste into irfanview -> jpeg 65% quality -> cropped to only info needed INCLUDES taskbar/clock -> save as =
182kb
* print scr -> paste into irfanview -> jpeg 65% quality -> cropped to only info needed crop away taskbar/clock -> save as =
160kb
* print scr -> paste into irfanview -> jpeg 65% quality -> cropped to only info needed crop away taskbar/clock -> resized smaller to legible font size (CTRL+R) -> save as =
108kb
3x CPUZ screenies + A64Tweaker:
* prnt scr -> paste into irfanview -> jpeg 65% quality -> save as =
124kb
* prnt scr -> paste into irfanview -> jpeg 65% quality -> cropped to only info needed showing -> save as =
111kb
* prnt scr -> paste into irfanview -> jpeg 65% quality -> cropped to only info needed showing -> resized (CTRL+R) -> save as =
72kb
For resizing (CTRL+R) ensure preserve aspect ratio is checked:
