How do you take screenshots of websites or little things on your computer?

First, bring up the window that you want something screenshot-ed from. Then, press the Print Screen key on your keyboard, which is located between the F12 key and Scroll Lock key (on most computers). You screen might flicker, or nothing may happen, but either way its fine. Next, go Start >> (All) Programs >> Accessories >> Paint. Then, press Edit >> Paste. A shot of the screen will come up. Press the dotted erectangle button a couple of times, which is on the top right of the left menu bar. Now, draw a rectangle around the part of the shot you want. If you don't get it right the first time, go Edit >> Undo and try again. Once you have your rectangle around your picture, right-click. If you want to bring your picture directly to another webpage, click Copy, then on the other webpage click Paste. If you want to post this picture on a forum or show it to a friend, click Copy To, title it, then click OK. Your picture is saved. To bring it to a forum, go to a website like http://www.imageshack.us and upload it. (Just click Browse, find your picture, OK, Upload.) Good luck =)
