Mr Lee Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 The other thing you can use is the snipping tool to take a picture copy of anything you wish that is on the screen except some videos that open up the full screen. To get to the snipping tool on Vista or 7, click start and type in snipping tool and then when it comes up, right click on it and pin it to your start menu or toolbar so you can find it easier and the start menu will not be open when you take the screen shot if clipped to the toolbar. Mine is not as fancy as OUC, just a plain screen with a photo of my wife while on vacation in Arizona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candyman Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks for the tip on the snipping tool ! I had not heard of it before, and "print screen" just does not work on this computer. Here is what my desktop looks like at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lee Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Looks nice, I guess I left out my icons in the last shot, so below is a full screen shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
