how do i take Desktops Screenshots

plz tell me

Print Screen on your keyboard.

i press prtscn
nothing happens

i press print scren nothing happens

Print Scrn - Captures the whole screen
Alt-Print Scrn - Captures the currently active window

You won't notice any effect, but the clipboard will have what you captured.
To view what you just captured, open up MS Paint and select Edit -> Paste.

Gadwin Print Screen freeware utility is very nice...

Great! I was in need of a particular screenshot some days ago. This program is easy and efficient!
Thanks dcrowder32

Why install a third party software when MS gives you that , also , the picture taken from
the keyboard Print screen is much better(sharper) then using a soft .

You are right. No need for it.
I just need the nice feature that allows me to capture directly to file. THIS saves time.
Principally when you just want a temp image that will be deleted in no time.
If windows had such a feature, I would gladly use it, of course.

hmmm

format /c ?



No, really!
1. Prt Scrn (Entire Desktop)
2. Alt+Prt Scr (Active Window)

Open
Start->Program Files->Accesories->MSPaint

Once MSPaint opens click on:
1. Edit->Paste
OR
2. ALT+V

After that stand up, spin your chair around 4x, stand on your head, and rub your belly clapping your feet together.

i use the program "NeoShooter" its nice, small & free, has a bit more options then gadwin printscreen
