HyperSnap is nice too.
But of course, it's simpler to just use dedicated keys when they exist.

that does'nt work in most games. but for alot of games you can enable a setting in the game's config file so that when you click print screen, it will save a pic to a folder.

PrtScn will only capture the Windows desktop and all it's windows. Unless the game is a windowed application (very unlikely), PrtScn is useless (unless the key is remapped by the game itself). For any Direct3D or OpenGL game, you'll need a third party application that can capture Direct3D or OpenGL frames directly.

Want to capture your character in action? Make a keepsake of the beauty of Azeroth? It's as easy as taking a screenshot.

For Windows Users:
  • While in the game, press the Print Screen key on your keyboard.
  • You should see a Screen Captured message.
  • The screenshot will appear as a targa (TGA) file in the Screenshots folder, in your main World of Warcraft directory.
  • You may need to get a special image viewing utility to open up or modify the TGA file such as IrfanView if you cannot do so normally.

I use FRAPS, and so far it has worked on all games that I've played. Great little program! Also helps me to keep any eye on the fps when I am tweaking the settings and testing it.

You could also use gamecam if you wanted to capture Video of the game.
