IrfanView is another option.

There are some people who have problems with Warcraft's regular way of taking screenshots, since they turn out to be 3 MB completely black .tga images. In that case, FRAPS is the way to go. Or you can use Paint and paste, but it's way more painful, and I don't think that allows you to take more than one screenshot at a time (due to having to paste).

Even if you could take more than one ss at a time, it wouldn't look good because you'll still see "Screenshot saved" on the screen for a while...

IMO gimp or photoshop are the way to go. With fraps you can only take ss's, with image editing software you can actually edit them or convert them.

And this "Gimp" won't be able to solve my problem?

It does.

I don't mean to be rude but is it so hard to understand that you got multiple programs to open (and convert) screenshots with?

YOU GOT, I only repeat this once:
- Paint, simple but not handy with multiple screenshots.
- Gimp, can open, convert, save etc. it.
- Photoshop, same thing as Gimp.
- FRAPS, I personally don't know how you can use this programs for SS, but who cares - it works.
- Any other artprogram.
