How do I take screen shots and access ms paint on Windows XP?

Really simple, I'm just bad at computers! I'm not sure what edition of XP I have.How do I take screen shots and access ms paint on Windows XP?
Hi,





To take a screen shot and save it as a picture





1) Click the window you want to capture. Press ALT+PRINT SCREEN by holding down the ALT key and then pressing the PRINT SCREEN key. The PRINT SCREEN key is near the upper right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)


Note: You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the PRINT SCREEN key without holding down the ALT key.


2) Click Start, click Accessories, and then click Paint.


3) In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click Paste


4) When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click Save As.


5) In the Save As dialog box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click Save.





You can now print or e-mail the saved screen shot just like you would any other picture.





Good Luck,

I believe you just hit the ';Print Screen'; button on your keyboard (should be in the upper right hand corner) and then go to the start menu (lower left) and go to All Programs (on the bottom) and then Accessories, then Paint. Double clicking on it will open it and then you go to Edit (top menu) and hit paste. Your screen shot should appear.
Hit the print screen key on your keyboard (whatever is on your screen will be saved) go to accessories, paint, and click paste. Walla!!!!!!
It's very easy to do, i do all the time! ;)
