now I know some of us already know how to do this since it is a simple function in windows, but many other people also have no clue about it and find alternate ways. Using software to take photos while in games or just elsewhere. anyway, here is how it's done.

have the screen set the way you want it to take your photo, make sure you are clicked on the program and press

[Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Prt Scrn] (usually left of num lock)

***this will take a photo of the single program you are currently in and NOT the entire screen.***

now for a full screen picture press

[Prt Scrn] "duh"

Now this is will not save the photo anywhere, it's just copied and needs to be pasted somewhere. u can paste it in a photo editing program (even paint), Microsoft Word, or even messengers such as Windows Live Messenger.

well that about covers it, if u have any further questions just let me know.

Cool, no more pasting cropping and repasting into paint to get a cruddy cropped picture. This saves lots of unneeded work, thanks!
