Hello Everyone...
After know about how screenshots on android phone, then how to screenshots on a computer screen? Can not photograph a computer screen into a drawing and saved into a file? Or can not do screenshots on a single window only, not the whole screen? Turns out it can be done in a relatively easy way without having to install a program that is heavy and cumbersome.

In principle we could photograph the screen and save it to a file or just copied it and put on a worksheet us. To photograph a computer screen (screenshot) and then save it into image files, we just capture the screen and take pictures through graphics software such as Photoshop or mspaint. And if we do not intend to keep it, the results had been able to capture directly included in the software that requires the image, eg placed on Microsoft Word.

Unlike the HP screenshots on Android that takes the whole screen, the computer may have been willing screenshot screenshot of the entire screen or want only one application window.

    For a screenshot of the entire screen we can use PrtScn keys on the keyboard.
    As for the screenshot in the window we could use the key combination ALT + PrtScn. If there are several active window then the screenshot made on the active window.
    For the record, PrtScn stands for Print Screen, and in some keyboards sometimes written with PrtSc alone.

Example screenshot of the full screen:

Example screenshot of the window only: screenshot-windows-xp :

Here are 3 ways to do screenshots on a computer screen:

    Select a specific image area by using the tool CROP (optional course)
