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.

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.
