This is one of those things that seem extremly complciated.. yet aren't which is why it often falls to the wayside as firstly you don't often need to do one and secondly it's a little hard to find the "how to information" purely because it is so simple :-)

Lets get shooting...
What you need is an image on your screen, a keyboard and Micorsoft Paint (supplied with all Microsoft Operating Systems or some other image editor [Irfan View] is brilliant and genuine Freeware for non commercial use.

First step...
On your keyboard usually to right of the F1-F12 buttons is a key that has Print Scrn and SysRq on it.. thats the one your after

Second step...
Clear your screen of all but image you wish to screenshot
Hit the Print Scrn button on your keyboard
This copies the entire shot of your screen to the clipboard

Third step...
Launch Micrsoft Paint or [Irfan View]
Hit Edit
Select Paste

ta da the 'screenshot' image is now available for editing
once you've cropped/edited the image to the size your after...
Hit File
Hit Save As.. then select the image format.
and you done.. your first screenshot, Woohoo!
