How to capture a screenshot
Ever wondered how people 'took pictures' of their computer screen?


screenshot example (resized):


1) With the window you want the screenshot of open, look on your keyboard for 'print screen' or 'PrtSc' and press it. This will capture an image of everything you see on your computer screen-all but your cursor. * On some laptops, you may have to press the 'function' (Fn) if the print screen key is in a different color, usually blue.

2) This captures the image, but does not save it. For that, you'll have to open up an image-editing program, like paint, photoshop, or paint shop pro. Create a new document and paste in the captured screenshot.

3) Lastly, just save your document and there you go :] You can also crop certain parts of the screenshot - example: if you want to put a certain myspace comment on your page, take a screen shot of that page, then just cut out the single comment and post.
