How can I take a picture with my webcam in Windows 7?
-
I know it existed as sort of a folder in Windows Explorer in at least Windows XP, but I just can't seem to find it in Windows 7... How can I take a picture with my webcam in Windows 7 without using any 3rd party tools?

Answer:
Answer I wrote from another http://superuser.com/questions/181983/windows-7-webcam-recording-software. Technically it isn't built in, but it is by Microsoft - so hope that doesn't count as third party in your books. I find the best and quickest program to be http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd373424%28VS.85%29.aspx. It works via native DirectX functions and is very lightweight. It is a free utility available through the http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3021d52b-514e-41d3-ad02-438a3ba730ba - and here is a direct link to http://www.mediafire.com/?l714vpt7pih7u7h (and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3353/amcap.exe)

There is no built-in way to do this in Windows 7. You will have to use the manufacturer's included software or a third party tool to take pictures with the webcam.
