How do I take screenshots?

How do I take screenshots? Sure, I know, I can press PrtScrn but that saves it in the clipboard. I then have to go to paint or some other program and paste the clipboard there.

I've looked at the control mappings and I can't find anything there about screenshots. I also have searched the forums. Maybe I missed it, and if so, I apologize, but this is driving me buggy.

I have Gadwin PrintSceen4.4 and SceenPrint32 (both free) installed and configured to my F11 key. The both have options on choosing a storage file location for the ones you take. Others may other different programs that work well also.

So it wasn't my imagination. There is no built-in screenshot key.

Thanks. I appreciate the info. Although I don't know why I'd need 2 programs. 1 should do it, I would think.

Thanks again

I have two as I was not sure which one would work best.

Well, I installed Gadwins Printscreen and after a bit of tweaking, it works perfectly. Takes the screenshot when I press PrtScrn button silently and saves it where I told it to. No muss no fuss.

Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.

It's a great programme - if you hold the key down it takes a continuous sequence of shots!
