Ok, I know that doing a screen shot of certain things to add to a blog, etc can be the same or slightly different. I am wanting to take a screen shot of a paypal payment so I can promote a site that paid me on my blog & my website, do I still use control&printscreen at the same time? Is it still the same if I just want to copy a little section of the paypal screen?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can probably use control and printscreen as long as what you want to print screen is on your screen-- then you can paste it a jpeg (paint) document- that is one way.
Another way is you can download a program like Capture by George-
Capture By George! is an advanced Windows screen capture application that offers an easy and intuitive method of making screen captures. Simply select the screen region to capture before pressing the Capture button; not after as with many other screen capture applications. With Capture By George!, you can save time and enhance your screen shots.
--there is a free download and a full version you pay for- but if you just using it for copying, pasting and printing- the free version will do just fine. I have used the (free download) program for years to put together different presentations to present on and offline.
NOT A REFERRAL SITE:

Hope this helps

Someone told me about the Ctrl+printscrn will copy only whats inside my browser which is I think is what you want, but it produce the result in my WinXP as pressing just the print screen key - copy every thing displayed by my monitor. In any case you still have to trim/crop the image and remove portion outside the paypal page to have a smaller image size using an image editor like MsPaint or photoshop.

I think you're wanting CTRL + PrtScr. This will take a snapshot of the window in focus, inclusive of window borders etc. If you want to snapshot just the contents of the browser window, ignoring the toolbars etc, most browsers go in to fullscreen mode on pressing F11. So, hit F11, whilst in fullscreen, hit PrtScr then hit F11 again to get out. Now, if you paste your snapshot, it'll be the image you had in fullscreen mode. Another way, if that's too much hassle, is to download the free and opensource Lightscreen from http://lightscreen.sourceforge.net/

hi
you can always crop the picture using simple paint after taking the whole screen shot... otherwise if you are using vista then you might want to try the snipper tool which is provided by default in the accessories section... the snipper tool allows you to take a screen shot of the area you want on the screen...

yeah well there are some small features vista has added over xp... but xp is pretty clean and fast, no harm in sticking to it, although you might want to try out vista coz it looks good:).... no better try out windows 7 if you are going to coz windows 7 looks like vista and also eats your RAM a bit lower than vista...

Pressing control and printscreen together takes the screen shot of the active window only.you can blur the portions you don't want others to see(transaction id) using paint or adobe cs2.You can take screenshots using a software called fraps.That will let you take multiple screenshots and you don't have to go and paste it somewhere every time, you can record videos also using this software.
