Or you can use the snipping tool. Start menu->
Accessories->
Snipping Tool
This allows you to drag and drop a box so you can select what you want a screenshot of.
I'm at work running XP- I couldn't find a snipping tool so I'm guessing it is a Win7 or at least Vista feature.
And for the record, I have owned 5 computers running XP, plus one Vista and 2 running Win7, and NONE of them have had PrtScn functions that worked as described above. I have to resort to using Irfanview to get screenshots.

as sardonicjester stated, windows 7 snipping tool. Works great, I use it often.
Aw, windows XP.
Print screen with either ctrl or alt. One does the full desktop, the other does the active window - never could remember which was which.
Then You could alway down load a freebee (just google it), But why add to programs that are installed when not needed.

Print screen has worked this way for the last 17 years. It has not changed since windows 95.

I just tried it again on this WinXP computer and it doesn't work on it. I don't recall trying it on any of my Win95 or Win98 computers though.

^ Agree, Have often used win xp print screen funtion with no problems other than remebering which is which on Cntrl vs Alt. And if a problem with win 7 snipping tool, either computer or operator problem - it works great on ALL 5 off my computers running windows 7.CTRL does nothing. As stated above, "print screen" captures the whole screen. Alt-PrintScreen captures the active window.

OK you forced be to retry. I fired up an old win XP system.
Alt + Prnt screen then opend paint and did a paste - walla, there was a pitcure of an opened window (CPU-z).
Cntr + print Screen, then paste into Paint and walla entire disktop.
Note: I just finished reloading XP on this system last week. It's an old computer that I use to clone SCSI HDDs that have windows 3.11 on them. I have never had a problem with Win XP on any of the computers that I've used, and that is a GOOD number of.
On sending with email:
.. As WR2 stated if using Galdwin program, or
.. If using windows Print screen. Paste into paint (or other program) and save, then send as an attachment.
@ Hawkeye22 LOL, Your right, do not need the ctrl for the whole desktop - works ether way (just tried).
