Easy. Hit the Print Screen key. Then open up Paint and use Ctrl+V and
voila, it's done. If you want just one window, use Alt+Print Screen and
then use Ctrl+V with Paint again.

Here's an app I've used for several years and found to be simple-to-use and
versatile:

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display, including the
Desktop Wallpaper, to the clipboard (iow, into RAM). Pressing
<ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to the clipboard. 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.
