How to print screen
« on: Monday 05 May 08 08:06 BST (UK) »
Could sks help me.  I have searched and cannot find how to print the screen.  Of course all my Mac user friends tell me it is easy but I have PC using XP.  I can't find it in the help topics ..probably just me.

Cheers

Then paste or CTRL-V into your application

If you have several windows open at the same time but only want to capture one of them
1. click on the window you want to capture
2 then Press "Alt" & "prt Scr" at the same time.
3 then paste into your application as described above.

Alternatively a very useful little utility to have is Screenhunter a free tool which allows you to save either the whole screen or just parts of it.

I can't take any of the credit for discovering the tool .... it was recommended on here a while back by another Rootschatter and I have found it the easiest of that style of tool to use.
