Windows > Screen and Window Capture

Explanation: Sometimes there's the need to get a picture of how the screen looks like. Sometimes there's also the need to get a picture of only a window, without everything else.

How to Fix it?: Not like there's a problem here, but here's the tip:
  • For Screen capture, press the [PrtScrn] key.

  • For Window capture, press and hold the [Alt] key, then press the [PrtScrn] key.

The [PrtScrn] key is usually found left from [Scroll Lock], here's a sample layout of a standard keyboard with the [PrtScrn] key selected:



You will not see any particular message on screen, but you can paste that information to any application such as: Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Word and so.

I just recently discover a new cool service that let's you take an snapshot of any web page and save it for a later use with a custom made link, you can also tag your snapshots with private or public.

The best think its that you can use a firefox extension... (http://www.jkn.com/)
