How can I copy a image of my PC with the Print Scren
buton?
I don't know where the images are after I push the
buton...

It is placed in the Windows clipboard. You can then paste (Ctrl + V key) it
into a program that supports pasting such as Word, or most paint programs.
I say it because the clipboard will normally hold only one image to paste at
a time.

If you want an easy-to-use screen capture program that automatically saves
the pictures to a file in the location you desire (for free) download
ScreenHunter 4.0 Free from www.wisdom-soft.com. Works great and will allow
you to capture the entire screen, a window or a selected portion of the
screen.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the
screen. But in all versions of Windows, this works differently,
and the name of the key is now an anachronism.

To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire
screen, or press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active
window. Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard.
Once it's in the clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any
application that supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics
programs, even your favorite word processor). You can edit or add
to the image as you wish, then print it.

This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing
it is an improvement over the original DOS method of just
printing it. But if you'd like that old facility back, there are
several third-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this.

The image gets copied to the clipboard. Then you can paste it in a
document by choosing Paste from the Edit menu. Hope that helps.

The clipboard is internal to Windows. You don't need to find it
or see it. After pressing the PrintScrn key, the image is in the
clipboard. To use it, all you need to do is do a paste (Ctrl-V)
into your graphics application.
