Lots of people have asked me on how to capture a Screen Shot of their Desktop. So I thought I should make a tutorial on how to...

1. Press the print screen button which should be:
user posted image

2. Open an image editing program like paint:
user posted image

3. Press Ctrl+V (paste)

4. It should have pasted the Screen Shot, Now save your image.

You learnt how to take a Screen Shot of your Desktop.

Also, some uses for that are to:
Show someone a problem you are seeing
Grab a picture on a site you can't normally (anti-right-click sites)
Show your actual desktop setup
Show a screenshot of something you're working on
Show a conversation you had with someone else

Just to show that it's actually very useful.

Also, there are a few programs that will automatically print screen and put them in sequential images (or keep overwriting the same one), as a sort of desktop webcam thing.

I do not think that this is a problem for gecko-based browsers (i.e. Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, etc). You can right-click regardless. If you're a diehard Internet Explorer user, another way you can get past this, without taking a screenshot, is to look at the source to determine the url of the image, and then plug that into the address bar.

@clagnol - actually, try visiting integramod.com in firefox. no right clicking. and yes, you could do the source thing, but not for images in a shockwave/flash movie.

@sandymc - you'd be surprised how many people don't know what the buttons do on their keyboard, or mouse, or computer in general. I still dunno what to use my Turbo button for, or the Pause Break button.

I visited integramod.com and had no problems right-clicking on any of the images in the album or main sections of the website. Is there some other place within integramod.com that prohibits right-clicking?

Already knew that but thanks anyway, also if you didnt know that, you may also not know that alt+print screen only copies the current window (which I did not know until 2 days ago when my ICT teacher decided to tell me.

Here's a manual for doing it in Linux!

1. Locate Synaptic package manager using find or by looking in lost and found, system or settings.
2. Click it to open it (this requires the root password).
3. Click edit on the top task bar, then click search.
4. When the box pops up type KSnapshot, then click search/find.
5. This should bring up 2 choices, kdegraphics and kdegraphics-ksnapshot, click kdegrahics-ksnapshot.
6. Right click it and select 'Mark for installation'.
7. At the top on the second from top task bar, click apply.
8. Check that the 'Download package files only' box is un-ticked and the 'Verify package signatures' box is checked.
9. Click apply, then wait for the thing to work it's magic, if a box comes up, click the close button.
10. Hit the print screen button on your keyboard, its to the right of F12 (a little way away (on a PC keyboard)) and next to scroll lock.
11. The KSnapshot window should pop-up with your taken screen shot in it.
12. Congratulations, rename your screen shot and you have successfully taken your first screen shot!

You can also use the drop down menu next to 'Capture mode:' to select Full screen, Window under cursor, Region (you draw a box around what you want to snapshot) and Section of window.
You can print it using KSnapshot without the need of further software, save it and copy it to the clipboard, it's free and it's easy.
Thank you Linux, Thank you KSnapshot!

This is a good way of capturing a screenshot of your desktop or what ever online you need a picture of. I take alot of screenshots running my canasta league, I use my print screen feature or there is a program that I have that is free and it is called neoshooter, it is a very easy program to use and it is free, you can go to Yahoo and do a search for it and download it and again like i sad it is very easy to use Neoshooter.

I recently changed my keyboard as the old one wasn't working, but this new keyboard doesn't have "print screen" on it. Could I still take a screenshot?
