How do you do a screen shot:question: Do just save it like you do a picture:question:

There should be a print screen button on your keyboard beside the f12 button.

3

Then copy to your clipboard.

4

Hit “Print Screen” button. Open paint and paste (ctrl v), “save as” jpg.

Thanks guys! I’ve never even looked for a key like that before:face_with_head_bandage:

You have to hit “Shift” and “Print Screen” simultaneously. It will automatically copy to your clip board, don’t have to do anything to make that happen.

It’s Easy :smiley:

Yall ever notice how some people say “hit” the key? It’s funny, but every area is different. I used to teach some training classes and traveled around a lot. We had to always adjust our terminology to the area. In some places they depress the key, in some they push it, in some they press it, in some they hit it, but if you’re in south Georgia they mash their buttons :smiley:

Printscreen captures the entire screen. Alt + Printscreen captures just the active window.

If at first you don’t succeed, drink another beer!!!

I am running a dinosaur 10 year old windows XP system and that’s how it works on it, anyway.

I grew up with those same words being told to me and now my boys are learning it also.

Now that you have learned that… It’s time you learned this trick:

  1. Gain access to a coworkers computer while they are not in the office.
  2. Take a screen shot of their desktop and save it as a BMP file. Make sure no applications(programs) are open. You just want their background and desktop icons
  3. Create two folders on your desktop about 6 inches apart horizontally. Make sure that the “auto-arrange” option is not being used. (right-click->view->Use auto-arrange = unchecked)
  4. Move ALL of their other icons into the folder that is on the right.
  5. There should be no icons on your desktop at this point other than the two folders.
  6. Highlight both folders with the mouse
  7. With both highlighted, hold down the click button on the left folder and position it so that the right folder (the one with the icons) is now just off of the screen to the right. It’s still there, but you should only see the left folder at this point.
  8. Now delete the left folder (the empty one). At this point, you should not see ANY folders (the one with the icons is hidden off the screen)
  9. Now, set their desktop background to be the screen shot. This is an image of the previous desktop with all of the icons and it will be a picture that you can’t click.
  10. Auto-hide the task bar and move it to the right side of the screen.

There you have it folks. Get a cup of coffee and watch the fun begin as your co-worker troubleshoots their computer “hang”. Put a pool together to see how many times they reboot before they finally call the help desk…

And I have to much time on my hands:smiley: The reason I asked about the screen shot thing is I saw something on TV about Obama Care! One guy said he signed up on the web site and then called the insurance company about something. The insurance company told him he wasn’t covered. The guy told people that if they signed up to take a screen shot of the Obama Care page with his confirmation number on it and then print it out so he has proof.
