Hold "Alt" and hit the "PrintScreen" key (over by F12, yeah that key actually does something, hehe)

That puts the image in the "Paste" buffer, so you can go into whatever program you use for image editing (Paintbrush will even work fine) and in the Edit menu select "Paste."

:

if you use ALT PRINT SCREEN you capture that particular window you have open.. and it copes it into your "clipboard"...

if you use CTRL PRINT SCREEN you capture the maximum screen resolution on the computer.. and it copes it into your "clipboard"..

you then need to take that into an image editing software (paint, photoshop, fireworks, etc) and crop it down and save it into a decent file size..

simply hitting "print screen" will do just that.. print the screen.. on the PRINTER..

I've used just plain print screen many, many times, and it doesn't print on the printer, just copies the whole screen.

yeah, you can use just print screen, it will just print to a file. Big file, but you can always make it smaller after the fact
