Hello- to any PC wizards out there...

I have a Mac computer at work and I'm able to take a snapshot of the screen using either the Shift+Command+3 or Shift+Command+4. Is there a key command to do this in PC? Or do you have to have a special program to do this?

Thanks.

There is usually a Print Screen key on the keyboard.

(Works in Linux as well)

PrintScreen button for the Entire Screen

Alt+Printscreen for Just the current window.

There's also a lot of proggies out there, like Snaggit and also a lot of freeware if you want more control over your images.

It works! Thank you-thank you-thank you all! I'm used to using Macs 90% of the time and know all the quick keys for that, but I'm stumbling around trying to find similar commands in PC.

(errr.... I forgot I posted this thread or else I'd have thanked you all sooner.)

Much appreciated!
