1. Click on virtual earth
2. Type alt + PrintScreen
3. Type windows key + R
4. Type MSPaint and click enter
5. Type Control + C
6. Type Control + S
7. Choose filetype JPG, give the file and name and click OK

I know of no built in way to do this.

Thanks - I have actually done that. I just wondered was there a better way.
For example on google earth, there is a 'save image' option.

I would just make a snip. Then you can also save it as .png which is better for quality of the picture.

Not that I know of. It can probably be coded, as there is a Virtual Earth
SDK:

http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/d...121cdae7-ea23-
4634-b815-4300eb98ee88&displaylang=en

Note, however, that this SDK deals with using Virtual Earth in an
application, not using the Virtual Earth application downloaded from
Microsoft.
