What shortcut does one use to copy the entire desktop(including the taskbar)
to the clipboard?

Considering the desktop is an image and not text, printscreen itself
will do it.

If you then open word or paint, you can paste it into a document / image.

Its basically a bitmap.
There are some great screen capture programs, I use hardcopy Pro. But
they allow you to capture areas of the screen and not the whole thing.
Great for documentation.

I am sure there is a shortcut! I remember using it.

Print Screen will capture the whole screen alt-Print Screen captures the
active window.

Read my reply..... PRINT SCREEN.
Bingo its done. its a key on your keyboard hit it.

I hit printscreen then opened a hotmail document(what one opens in order to
send a hotmail email) then hit ctrl + V but nothing appeared on the hotmail
document.

You have to first paste it into a graphics program and then save it.

Try using Paint.

Obviously Thunderbird does not paste graphics, and I'm assuming B11 is
having the same issue. But Microsoft outlook does, and I know Word
does. I used it all the time to cut&paste screens. I guess the 'paste'
now hinges on the windows program being able to accept a pasted bitmap
inline with text.

Still if you made a shortcut to the clipboard, 'clipbrd.exe' then you
can just save and then attach to messages/mail.
