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. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

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\* |

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 PrintKey2000 at http://www.sharewarejunkies.com/00zwd2/printkey2000.htm |

You can end up with a screenshot in your Pictures folder. https://www.howtogeek.com/226280/how...in-windows-10/ 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). |

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? |

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. |
