Foreground Editor	Snagit forces the Snagit Editor into the foreground (with focus) after a capture. Default setting. When capturing images from DirectX programs, deselect this option.
Paste Images as HTML for Outlook Express	Snagit pastes images into Outlook Express using HTML. This allows the image to display correctly. Each time you copy or paste, this option leaves files on your computer.

Embedding images requires that the client is configured to use the HTML e-mail format and the Send Pictures with E-Mail option to be enabled.

The following options are available: File types to associate with Snagit Editor: Use to select individual file types, one at a time. Select All: Use to select all of the file types at once. Clear All: Use to select all of the file types at once.
Reset Configuration	Returns all settings for the current profile to the program defaults. All other profiles remain unaffected by this change.
