fqpissed Screen Shots

Hello again.
I know there is a way to save and find screenshots. I have seen it discussed but don't know how to find them.
I have heard that using the "prt scr" button saves a screen to the clip board. Problem is, I can't find the clip board.
Did I miss a turn in the trail.

Send a message via MSN to doctorgonzo
After you hit the Print Screen button, open up Paint and then hit Ctrl+V (or select Paste from the Edit menu). That will paste the screenshot from the clipboard into Paint.

Get IrfanView and you can save the screen shot in a image format other than bitmap.
