Answer 5

Two ways:

1.

"Print Screen" key will capture everything on your desktop as it appears.

2.

"Alt" key + "Print Screen" keys together will only capture the "current Window" that has "focus".   This is often more desirable than copying the whole desktop and all windows open.

Then, with Paint open, select Edit-->Paste from the Paint menu.

Or, just Ctl-V to paste.
