How to take screenshots?

[Rhino]

How do you take screen shots of programs, like games that don't natively have this option built into their code? Programs that don't use full screen you can just press print screen, but this doesn't work on full screen programs.

For Full Screen shots, press alt+Print Screen, then go to either the clipboard or your e-mail page(outlook)and choose Paste & Picture.

I prefer a free utility called Print Key, a neato lil proggy that you can capture even .pdf files.

Yes it worked! Thanks.

there's also a program called screen theif! =) it has so many options . and it works really great

Just to throw another tidbit in: alt+Print Screen will only capture the active window. Print Screen by itself will capture your whole desktop.

I think mspaint is fine. Then I use ACDSEE to convert them to .jpg or .gif
