Lots of people have asked me on how to capture a Screen Shot of their Desktop. So I thought I should make a tutorial on how to...

1. Press the print screen button which should be:


2. Open an image editing program like paint:


3. Press Ctrl+V (paste)

4. It should have pasted the Screen Shot, Now save your image.

You learnt how to take a Screen Shot of your Desktop.

I already knew how to do this. But It is good for someone his is not all that good with pc's.

Also, some uses for that are to:
Show someone a problem you are seeing
Grab a picture on a site you can't normally (anti-right-click sites)
Show your actual desktop setup
Show a screenshot of something you're working on
Show a conversation you had with someone else

Just to show that it's actually very useful.

Also, there are a few programs that will automatically print screen and put them in sequential images (or keep overwriting the same one), as a sort of desktop webcam thing.

I do not think that this is a problem for gecko-based browsers (i.e. Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, etc). You can right-click regardless. If you're a diehard Internet Explorer user, another way you can get past this, without taking a screenshot, is to look at the source to determine the url of the image, and then plug that into the address bar.

Ha.. i think everybody already knew about it, at least they will realize some key called "print Screen" in one side of her/his keyboard..

@clagnol - actually, try visiting integramod.com in firefox. no right clicking. and yes, you could do the source thing, but not for images in a shockwave/flash movie.

@sandymc - you'd be surprised how many people don't know what the buttons do on their keyboard, or mouse, or computer in general. I still dunno what to use my Turbo button for, or the Pause Break button.

I visited integramod.com and had no problems right-clicking on any of the images in the album or main sections of the website. Is there some other place within integramod.com that prohibits right-clicking?
