| | Re: Print Screen using Vista this is a programmign group - but to answer your question - its Alt-PrintScreen - and it puts the pictuer of your desktop into your clipboard to be pasted anywhere. Now, if you have a laptop - you probably have to hit something like Alt+FunctionKey+Printscreen, if the printscreen button is on a 'secondary button' Miro "n8" <n8@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F8F11914-9A09-4C02-9AF3-434AED7CCAD2@xxxxxx Quote: > This may be the stupidest question ever, but how does the "print screen" > work > on Vista?

Alt-PrtScn gets the active top-level window Some keyboards (like mine) you need to turn FLock off to get at the PrtScn. Mark -- Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ |

If you have one of the other editions, ControlPanel>Uninstall a Program and on the left of that window, Turn Windows features on or off. Faststone Capture53 is an excellent free screen capture app. FastStone Capture 5.3 - eSnips, share anything Hope it helps SIW2 |
