How to print screen using key board?

I installed the program.. I want to print screen the step but no menu bar to minimize the windows so that I can paste the print screen windows to paint. Anybody know how to minimize the windows using keyboard?

Um... press the "PriSc" button on your keyboard, open Paint, press Ctrl+V.

hmmm, I am not asking how to paste, I just asking how to minimize the windows so that I able to paste the print screen windows.There is no minimize windows icon or toolbar. So what to do?

Either I'm slow today, or you aren't making any sense.

Open up paint first
Open up the other program
Print Screen
Alt+Tab to Paint
Paste

I think you mean WindowsKey + D ?

Yes, windowskey+d will also work - it will take you directly to your desktop where you can launch paint.

I believe WindowsKey + M will also minimize all windows and WindowsKey + shift + M to restore them

Same thing as WinKey + D... except it works both ways ;)

Leave it to Microsoft to come up with completely redundant systems.

*cue those who feel it is their purpose to correct all misgivings*

If those methods don't work then press Prntscreen and close your application.

Then you can open paint and paste it in even if your first program is closed.

also if you opened paint first, then you can switch to paint at will.

With my new Tablet PC, I put the PC face down on the scanner and scan it.

(You have to make sure that the scanner window is not open at the time otherwise you get a recursion event and the entire universe collapses in on itself, but it's probably worth the risk rather than having to get Snaggit from some magazine cover disk...) :)

Every now and then I go wild and do Alt+PrScr, then Paste into wordpad!

Sometimes I even "Create PDF->From Clipboard Image"!

Alt Tab
