no folder.. when you hit printscreen, the bitmap image of your entire desktop is copied into the clipboard.

when you hit ALT-printscreen, the bitmap image of the Active window is copied into the clipboard.

you need to paste it somewhere... or you can download a screenshot program that will auto-save screenshots with hotkeys. mwsnap32 is awesome for this and supports dragging the area to copy/save.

It won't. It adds it to the clipboard, from where you must then paste it into a suitable image editing program.

It goes into your C:\WINDOWS\ folder, but sometimes you can't see them until you delete a few files in there first. Make sure the folder has less than 10mb's of data in it before trying to find the pictures. If you're having trouble cutting down space, make sure to delete any folders that have 'system' in the name.

Are you serious? Any image editing app, and probably other apps like MS word will work. The simple MS Paint included in XP works.

If you're actually going to edit the image, then Adobe Photo Elements is the most popular and powerful of the amateur editors, while remaining relatively simple, app, and Photoshop is the de facto standard for advanced image editing.

I don't think you were serious though! Just paste the image into something then save it to your HD.

no
Are you sure?

No is a negative response, indicating that you were not serious, in this context. If you in fact were serious, you should have said Yes by depressing the buttons labeled "Y", "E", and "S" in sequence on your keyboard peripheral device

This can be accomplished fairly quickly using both hands and multiple fingers, but as a simpler solution you can just use the index finger on your preferred hand

But you probably did mean no!

I am guessing the excuse of having fat fingers when typing wouldn't apply either...

Miir, would you reccamend using a condom when browsing pr0n?
