I am not sure if Paint crops. But someting like Paint.net or The Gimp should, and they are both free, easy downloads

Also, GW saves screenshots as Bitmaps. And bmps are huge. If you wanna post a screenshot online, save it as a .PNG (you can do this by going into Paint and clicking "Save As..." and then changing the file type from bmp to png.) PNG is a good alternative to saving as a JPEG to reduce size because converting to a JPEG in MSPaint sometimes really messes things up. You can use photobucket or if you just want to upload something temporarily for just say, one post, you can use imageshack.us. When you upload something to imageshack it'll stay uploaded for a while and then, depending on how active the picture you posted is, it will either stay up a little longer or just get deleted.
