I'm assuming server-side, right? You may check into Internet Explorer automation via Windows Scripting Host if that's possible. Since IE does this (for use in the Windows Explorer) then it should/might be possible to access the functionality directly. I also remember a tool that Jakob Neilson mentioned - in one of his books maybe? It's what he uses to get "full length" screen shots of sites. You might check out software archive sites and look for "screen capture". However pretty much any screen cap program would require you interact with the desktop in a pretty big way - not the most optimal solution (unless you can possibly relegate it to a dedicated machine).
