My Desktop .. What's Yours

TameasDust	Date: June 5, 2008 @ 3:57 AM Have you ever pressed the PrtScn (print screen) key on your Windows keyboard and wondered why it was there since it never seemed to do anything? Well, it does do something! It copies an image of your screen onto the "clipboard," ready to paste into any graphics program. These steps show you how to use it along with Windows' standard image editor, Microsoft Paint, to save an image of your screen. Here's How: 1. Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard. It may be labeled [PrtScn]. 2. Open an image editing program, such as Microsoft Paint. 3. Go to the Edit menu and choose Paste. 4. If prompted to enlarge the image, choose Yes. 5. Optional: Use your image editor's crop tool to crop out unnecessary portions of the screen shot. 6. Go to the File Menu and choose Save As. 7. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the image. 8. Type a file name for the image. 9. Select a file type. 10. Click the Save button. Tips: 1. Hold the Alt key down while pressing Print Screen to capture only the active window. 2. Generally the GIF format works best when saving screen shots of application windows. The JPEG format usually makes screen shots (especially those with text) blurry, blotchy and discolored. 3. See related resources below for more screen shot tips and listings of screen capture software that offers many more options for capturing screens and portions of screens on Windows and Macintosh computers. 4. The Windows " clipboard" is a term used to describe the temporary storage space in memory where an item is placed when you copy or cut. When you paste, the item is transferred to the program you're working in. If you copy something else, the old item is replaced with the new. You can't navigate to or manipulate the clipboard directly; it's only used for copy and paste operations. 5. If you have windows Vista, you can capture screen shots much more easily using the Snipping Tool included with Vista.

Distilled1	Date: June 5, 2008 @ 12:41 PM XP with the Vista stuff on it
ShadowMom	Date: June 5, 2008 @ 2:18 PM Just because you show us yours doesn't mean I'm going to show you mine I don't remember what mine looks like. I think it says Excite on it somewhere.
ShadowMom	Date: June 5, 2008 @ 2:25 PM Okay! Maybe it says "START" on it.
Distilled1	Date: June 5, 2008 @ 4:58 PM I really like the Vista pack... issue on my win amp (shoutcast) window the damn level meters show the right numerical db but the green graphic on the meters goes backwards might not keep the pack
