Bmapper Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Just thought I'd drop a tip on you guys. I did a quick search, and didn't see anything related, so. If you run dual monitors, then taking screenshots with the 'printscreen' function, will result in a screenie of both monitors. This is usually not the intended result. So, to get windows to take a screenie of just the active monitor, simply hold down the 'alt' key while pressing 'printscreen'. This will just take a screenie of your current active monitor. Of course there are other third party programs out there that handle screen shots much better, but for those that dont have them, this works pretty good too. Hope this helps someone out there, just thought I'd share. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Cannot test that on a dual screen configuration right now, but + combination is supposed to send a picture of current window to Clipboard. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrison-matt Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 If you have windows Vista or 7 just search "snipping tool" in your start menu, that tool will allow you to crop portions, write on and email/copy your clipped screen. I hope that helps. MSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
