Turn your view of the screen into a picture file for all sorts of useful purposes!
Being able to take a picture of your screen is a very useful tool! It allows you to take screenshots of games, error messages, funny visuals, and anything else you care to take a screenshot for. Taking a picture of your error messages would be very useful because you can send the picture to someone else who knows more about computers than you do. Here's how you do it! On any screen that you want to save a snapshot of, press the PRINT SCREEN "Prt Scr" BUTTON on your keyboard. Then open up an image editor like MS Paint (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint) and click on Edit > Paste. Then save the picture and you're done! For all you folks that think you know everything about the PRINT SCREEN command, guess what, you can press ALT + PRINT SCREEN to save ONLY the current window at which you are viewing! Go try this new trick you learned and discover other useful purposes for it.
