To take screen shots of your computer screen, hit the Print Screen button on
your keyboard.
This will save your screenshot to your clipboard, from which you can open up
MS Paint or any other graphics program and paste the image in.
PRINTSCREEN saves entire screen to clipboard.
ALT + PRINTSCREEN saves only active window to clipboard.
Clipboard can be pasted into files like Word docs.
Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard (iow, into RAM). To view the screen capture, open a
graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will
paste the contents of the clipboard (your screenshot) into the open
file, and allow you to view it or save it as a file for later use.
