One of the things I am asked most often is how to make a picture of your desktop or your webpage.  This is called "making a screen shot," and here's how to do it.

Above is a screen shot of my desktop.  Here are the steps for making your own:

1) Hit the "Print Screen" button located at the upper right hand of your keyboard.  This is the button just to the right of the one labeled F12.  Don't worry- nothing happens right away when you do this.  You did it right, even if you hit it once and you didn't see any result.

2) Open up your Paint or PSP program.  For Paint, go to "Start", "Programs," then "Accessories," then "Paint."  When you are in Paint, go to "Edit" then "Paste."  Your screenshot will appear on the paint screen.  For PSP, open up the program, then go to "Edit" and "Paste ad New Image".  Your screen will appear.

3) You've actually already made your graphic, but remember, you've made a life-size shot of your screen.  If you attempt to load this onto your page, it will be HUGE and take six months to load.  So right now, while the program is still open, resize that puppy.  I did mine 40% of the original, and you can experiment yourself with the right size.  Just make sure the "maintain aspect ratio" is also clicked.

That's all there is to it!
