    To capture the entire screen, press the print screen key on your keyboard. Then open a graphics program like Paint and click the edit menu, then click paste. To save it, in the graphics program, click file>save as.

    To capture only the active window, press alt+print screen.

    To capture a dialogue box or a rectangular area of the screen - or the full screen check out Fastone Capture - freeware - I use it exclusively for screenshots here on the BBS.
