What did you expect to happen? Can you explain and clarify what exactly
are you trying to do. Also tell us how long have you been using a
computer for whatever purposes.

Firstly, where the key is located depends on your keyboard. Secondly, in
Windows the screenshot is only put on the clipboard. You have to then
open some image editor or like app and paste to get it.

For the OP, try this:

1. Install Irfanview (it's well known and often recommended).
http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm

2. Press the print screen button.

3. Open up Irfanview and press Control+V

You should see your screenshot in Irfanview.

You can also press "Windowskey+PrintScreenKey" which will put the
screenshot in your User folder in

C:\Users\yourname\Pictures\Screenhots\*

Back in the days of DOS, the PrtScn 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. The key does *not* print the screen.
PrtScrn captures the whole screen, and Alt-PrtScrn captures 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, such as

They claim here, that there is actually some automation available.
You can end up with a screenshot in your Pictures folder.

I use the Windows+PrtScrn all the time to print the screen to a file, where
I have a link to the Screenshots folder in the User hierarchy to easily
grab the results.

Those print-to-file results are PNG files, of course, so it would be nice
to figure out how to make Windows print the screen with that method to GIF
or JPG files but PNG is easily enough converted (they just don't always
upload to free sites).

In addition, Irfanview has a well known Print-Screen (default control+f11)
method of printing whatever you want to a file, where the caveat is that
Irfanview has to be running (typically in the background).

IrfanView has it's own Screenshot function that has a bevy of options

Hi Billy,

As both James and Dale recommend, I have to 1+ the
Snipping Tool. It gives you a lot more control.

Here is a great how to:

Try this:

1. Start Run C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe
or
1. Start Run %windir%\System32\SnippingTool.exe

2. Start Run snippingtool.exe

3. Start Run snippingtool

4. Start Run snip

I understand #1 because the full path is provided.
I understand #2 and #3 because of the magic of the AppPaths key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\SnippingTool.exe

But why on earth does #4 work?

Something happens.

A copy of the screen is placed in the clipboard. If you want
a copy of just the current window, you can modify the
Printscreen key with the Alt key (Alt plus Printscreen).

Of course you must paste somewhere, in order to see the copy.

That is interesting.

Try finding a Widows equivalent of the Linux "which" command
and see where "snip" points to:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/which.htm

My first thought was the $PATH.
C: path
REPORTS:
PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\Sys tem32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v 1.0\;C:\app\os\gtk\gtksharp\bin;C:\Users\x\AppData \Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;

dir C:\WINDOWS\system32\*snip*
dir C:\WINDOWS\*snip*
dir C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem\*snip*
dir C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\*snip*
dir C:\app\os\gtk\gtksharp\bin\*snip*
dir C:\Users\ultred\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApp s\*snip*

The command "snip.exe" isn't in the path.
I searched the registry also, for snip.exe, which wasn't found.

How on earth does this magic work in Windows 10?
Start Run snip

If your refering to this type of Keyboard;

Then you can use 'Fn' + 'F7'
