Screen shot

this may sound dumb but i want to send a pic of my desktop wallpaper to the gallery but i don't know how to take a screen shot of it.

so if u know how pls tell me.

If you have a standard keyboard find the row of "F" keys. They should go "F1" "F2" and so on until it gets to "F12"

To the right of "F12" there should be a key that says:
Prt Scrn
Sys Rq

Hold shift and press that key at the same time. Then go into paint, click on the canvas and hold ctrl+v.

And magically it should appear. then just save it as a jpeg and you're good to go.

thx frr_vegeta that help alot

alt method:-
press print screen
open paintshop / or whatever
press ctrl v

Thanks Veggie and Shadow Rabbit for answering the question. But alas since there is no more query here, i must depart this thread into closedom.
