    You have to open Paint (or something similar) and press ctrl+v to paste it, and from there you can save it to wherever you want.

    What LOVEJames said...

    I just posed to add a nifty little trick...To take a picture of the current active window, hold the 'Alt' key while pressing the Print Screen key. It saves a few mouse clicks over taking a picture of the whole screen and then having to crop it later.

    lol. This thread is amazing. One of my friend showed me how to do this whole print screen thing on my computer (and incidentally, this is when I came out to her :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:):

    Me: WHOA!
    My friend: It's not that "whoa" worthy.
    Me: But this just made me very happy!
    My friend: You need a hobby...
    Me: ... or a guy.
    ... Oh yeah, I'm gay.

    That's basically how it was last week lol :grin: (!)

    That's probably one of the nerdiest coming outs ever.

    I use Alt+print screen all the time when taking screen shots for school labs.
