To take a screenshot i use a little App called "Grabby", it uses a tiny amount of RAM (4 MB) and just writes any pics in the clipboard to the desktop as a JPEG. The problem comes that i'd like to run it all the time, but i'd want it to run in the tray, is there anyway i can do this (for free) automagically?

Or maybe theres something better than Grabby? what do you recommend? Fraps is not an option, nor is Hypersnap DX that pile of w*nk. What could ye suggest?

...doesn't save to a file, which means i need to open Photoshop and then save it, then open LFS back up again, whereas with Grabby i just hit "Print Screen" and the image is saved automagically.

Dunno, maybe you can find a freeware tool somewhere

I was using something called M8clips (clipm8?) for a while. It saves screens and lists them in a window too. If you're in photoshop, you just double click on the particular image you want (single click brings it up as a thumb), and it opens straight into photoshop.

The only problem I had with this program was I had to slightly crop the sides of an image as they were a bit garbled. And sometimes, the whole image was garbage. But this was pretty rare. Give it a try, and tell us if you find something better!

Also, I'm sure you're familiar with CTRL - S in LFS now? That's taken over from M8clips for me. Why don't you just use that?
