After you press PrtScn, open Paint, (or whatever graphics program you use- I like Irfanview), click Edit, Paste. Then click File, Save As, and select where you want it saved and name it whatever you want, click OK, close Paint, you're done.
PrtScn copies everything you see on screen. If you have several things open on the screen, but just want to copy one, click on the window you want to save, to select it, the press Alt and PrtScn at the same time, then repeat the above.
When I press PrtScn (Print Screen), where are the pictures put so I can access them later? Thanks
