How do you save a screen-shot?

Question

right, so i think you hit "print screen"... but then what?

i think a while ago my friend told me a method, it had something to do with putting the image into "paint" then saving it there, but how do you insert it into paint?

Answer 1

open up paint.

create a "new" document

paste (ctrl-v) the screenshot into it.

you can also just "paste" it into Word, email message or whatever else you have that let's you paste.  Basically your screenshot is just sitting in your "clipboard" waiting to be pasted somewhere

Answer 2

All you have to do after that is open up paint, and paste it there.
