Is there anything like ELMAH for Windows Forms?
I'm looking for a standard way to process unhandled exceptions and grab a screenshot and other environment information before packaging that up for support.

To log a handled exceptionCreate the method that will generate the exception information. Use a Try...Catch block to catch the exception. Put the code that could generate an exception in the Try block. Uncomment the Dim and MsgBox lines to cause a NullReferenceException exception.
An unhandled exception is an error in a computer program or application when the code has no appropriate handling exceptions. Learn about the definition and examples of unhandled exceptions, and explore programming and exception handlers.
An unhandled exception occurs when the application code does not properly handle exceptions. For example, When you try to open a file on disk, it is a common problem for the file to not exist.
We suggest logging your exceptions using NLog, Serilog, or log4net. All three frameworks give you the ability to log your exceptions to a file. They also allow you to send your logs to various other targets. These things like a database, Windows Event Viewer, email, or an error monitoring service.
The very same Jeff Atwood coded a nice solution (albeit in VB.NET) which I had to modify and "fix" but that I am happily using since then.

There is a nice User Friendly Exception Handling made by Jeff Atwood in 2004. I used it for several of our internal applications and it worked well.
