Answer 1

I'm pretty sure it's CTRL + I.

Answer 2

load the video up on movie maker (comes with home xp and vista ultimate for sure) and after u load up the file, seek through the video to the particular screenshot you want and pause the video. then go to tools and take picture from preview and voila
