Print screen will always work unless one of a few things happens: You completely destroy your operating system, your print screen key is broken, or you have some weird keyboard that doesnt have that key (very unlikely, its a standard feature)

On a laptop you may find that "Prnt screen" or similar is written in a blue/grey colour. In which case you need to press the Fn key (usually bottom left) hold that down and then press the print screen button. Any key with light blue characters on it needs the Fn key (also light blue) to e pressed first

Its true it will be really usefull for those who are new to computers and don't know how to do it. Even in the begining of my career in this field I was amazed at how people take the screen shots and now when I know it, it seems to be very easy. But really its a good aproach, it will really be usefull for many.

You can use the tool which is virtual keyboard called On-Screen keyboard.It can be found in Accessories then Accessibility and click on On-Screen keyboard.This is very simple way to click on key which is broken on your keyboard.This is special window,so you can still be focused on your current window while clicking on the On-screen keyboard.It is little scary to end explorer.exe but it shouldn't damage your computer.The problem is if you replace explorer.exe with virus So i don't support explorer.exe,but anyway donneo very nice trick-bravo!

A very simple tutorial there it seems for us who are very familiar in how to do this. Though this will get Crawled by bots and I am sure someone who doesn't know very much about computers will Google "How to take a screenshot" and I am sure this will come up for Him or Her and will be of great use to them.

I didn't know how to do this 'till read this thread, however I do know how to do it on a Mac, in Case anyone out there is using Apple's OSX here's the command for Print Screen.

Full Screen = Shift + Command + 3
Capture Selection = Shift + Cammand + 4

If you hold left alt while using print screen it will only screen shot the active window. This is especially useful if you only want a certain window in your screenshot but don't feel like cropping it, .

Not a lot of people know about that so thought I'd share.
