[Print Screen] saves an image of your whole screen to the clipboard

Also in Win2000:
[Alt] + [Print Screen] saves an image of the active window to the clipboard

Alt + Print Screen does not work ONLY in Windows 2000, it works fine in WinME too. Forgot about 98(SE) though.

Just a wee bit to add. Alt-PrtScr let's you take the screenshot of a window, no matter what size. And some programs let you take advanced screenshots like menus, and some even let you record what your have been doing in the computer!

This site is cool.

What about taking a program that saves screenshots to a file, not clipboard? Like, if I wanted to take a bunch of screenshots in a game, how could I do that?

games usually have a special key that you hit, usually like f5 or something that saves it to a file

Print Screen button it to take a picture of whatever is on the screen at the time. but then you hvae to paste it into a program somehwere, cause it's in the clipboard (Which i never use).
