How do you take a screen shot?

[IronOxide]

I know this probably isn't the best place to post this, but it won't get answered anywhere else...... I know that you can take a screen shot of whatever is on your screen, but I have no idea how. Can anyone explain it for me? Do you have to have additional software? Thanks guys!

ALT + PRINT SCREEN, open favorite graphics application and Paste

what do you need to press alt for?

 

Paint is best if you dont have anything else to use.....ie photoshop

ALT + PRTSRC will take a screenshot of the active window only

without ALT, you get your whole desktop

I guess not, I wonder where I got that from... It's been a habit for years
