Is there a way to do a screen capture into a bitmap with the paint program that comes with windows? thanks

Whole Screen CTRL+PRINT SCRN
Active Window ALT+PRINT SCRN
Open Pain and paste away

Great tip.
But I only have to hit printscreen to capture the whole screen.

Here's a fun prank if other use your system.

Take a print_screen of your desktop in it's normal configuration. Then tuck all your exposed icons away in a folder somewhere, then use that snapshot of your desktop as your wallpaper. Drives'em crazy. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

I did that to my brother once, he went mad trying to access my computer and the shortcuts he had on the desktop. He couldn't realise why i was laughing so much.
His homework was due though so i had to fix it. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Wonder if I can hide the taskbar for the full effect, maybe hide it on one of the sides. Hmmmm.
