If you ever wanted to know the easy way to make a screenshot of what's on your screen in Windows, here it is, and you don't even need photoshop if you don't want:

When the screen has what you want on it, hit ctrl+print scrn.

Now go to start, run, type mspaint and hit enter.

Now hit ctrl+v to paste.

Crop how you want. Enjoy.

If you don't have it installed, it can be put back on easily.

Go to the control panel and go to add/remove programs.

Now select on the left side "add/remove windows components"

There should be something like "extras" or "utilities" there that you can see more options inside that, and paint or mspaint should be one of those things you can select. Select it and hit okay.

Oh sweet, here it is. Thanks. I couldn't find it in my "all programs" section for some reason.

To me, it's just easier to do the start/run/mspaint thing... but I type fast, so that may not be so friendly to others....

Oh I type super fast Kizzume. Like probably double you!

lol, okay don't get mad, jk.

But for the record I really do type super fast. Maybe not as fast as I used to back in typing class, but.....as fast as I can think-- that's for sure, lol!

If you can type as fast as you think, then maybe. I type about 85-95wpm. I have a friend in California who types about 140 words a minute, and it just boggles my mind.

In typing class at the end I typed 120. But I don't really try to type fast these days. I just type at a comfortable speed

If I had to guess, these days I would say I probably type an average of 60 wpm, lol. I know I have slowed down a lot since I wasted time taking a course on it

Well, if you can type fast, it doesn't seem that it was time wasted to me. I'm really glad I took a class in it. I would never have had the patience to learn to type the right way without it.
