Disable screenshot tool, windows

In windows, now, a preview of a screenshot pops up in the right hand corner. I do not want this. In invites me to paste, edit, or delete the screenshot. The only thing I want is for the screenshot to...

That first screenshot makes it look like you've installed Dropbox Capture. Maybe try and see if that is running or you can uninstall :)

I haven't installed that.

There aren't any programs running under that name.

    What happens if you do a screenshot and Dropbox is closed completely?

      dropbox closed: nothing. Normal screeshot. AKA it does nothing unless I paste.

      Dropbox open: The silly popup inviting me to paste, then it goes away after five seconds or so. (It saves the screenshot as well.)

      Is this a new update 'feature' or something?

        I really have no idea I'm afraid. I am not seeing it on mine but I'm on a Mac and Dropbox are really, really dire at posting change logs...

        What version of Dropbox are you using? If you mouse over its icon it should tell you.
