have you ever seen
and wondered, how do they get a perfect picture of their desktop? well some ppl wonder and wonder and others think we take it with a camera(trinidad). This is actually a pretty simple trick. Here is how to do it. go to your desktop, your browsers, or wat ever you want to take the screen shot of then just press the "Prt Scrn" key which is located above the Insert button, on the set of keys above the arrows.
once that key is pressed the snapshot is located onto your clipboard, to obtain and save this image go to a program like adobe photoshop or another program that lets you paste pics. I will use Paint as an example since just about everyone has it and its free(i think) open up paint and press Ctrl+V, or go to edit and paste. and it will paste the snap shot of when ever you pressed Prt Scrn, then just save onto your pictures or watever. if this does not work its because you probably erased it. Since it is on your clipboard it will erase if you store something else on your clipboard, for example if you highlight something and copy or cut, it will erase what you prev. had on d clipboard like the screen shot, so if this happens just go and do it again.
another thing Vista users can do is go to start>all programs>accessories>Snipping tool
it will ask you what part of the screen you want to make into a pic and it can save it for you, you can also put it on the quick launch toolbar for easy access. I dont really use this but if you need help with it, feel free to ask.
Snipping tool may not be on all vista computer, according to alex p, he said it was not on his, i believed him but then i searched and found this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipping_Tool
