The Print Screen function. There's a keyboard key called Prt Scr, next to F12. Press that, and the desktop image is copied to the clipboard. Then paste it in MS Paint, Word, anywhere you want.

No...just press the print screen button...hence the name, "print screen".

Yes, it's just Print Screen. Now if you hold ALT, it captures only the active window.
