There must be other ways, but I have never used them, with a few exception.  What I did with Print Screen was to click on it for a photograph or article I wanted to copy from Internet Explorer, than click on Start > All Programs >  Accessories  >   Find, and click on Paint or Wordpad.  Than in Paint, I click on Edit on top, than click on Paste, and with wordpad, I would just right click my mouse, onto an empty space, and click on Paste.  The image or article is now installed onto that program.

 

There are other ways to use Print Screen as well, but never used them.  Others may weigh in with their suggestions later.  Hope this helps a tiny bit..  :smileyhappy:

SR45, thanks for the response I'll give it a try.   Al

Printscreen gets the whole desktop   alt + printscreen gets the focused window only..:smileyhappy:

I have a free program that I downloaded called Photo Filtre. It's actually excellent for editing or touching up digital photos, but what I do when I want a printscreen is to open Photo Filtre, but minimize it; keeping the icon of it in the taskbar....  Then I hit the printscreen key... then I click the Photo Filtre icon to open it.

 

Then in Photo Filtre, I click " edit ".; then " paste as new image ".   That allows me to give the printscreen  a name if I want, and send that image off to wherever I want...

 

Probably many ways to do this; but this is the only way I do it here...    If you dabble in photos at all, that Photo Filtre is fabulous... and free too !:smileyvery-happy:

 

 

Happy  New  Year, everyone ...

Free program. Google for Printkey 2000

 

EDIT:   No key sequence involved (unless you want to)...just hit PrintScreen and it prints.

Nice free replacement for Paint, mucho better some say.
