Hello everyone.

I'm going to be telling you how to perform a screenshot on a WINDOWS operating system.


STEP ONE: Go to your keyboard and find the "Print Screen" button. When you find what you want a screenshot of, hit it. The button looks like this: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/Blazer1991/PrintScreen1-1.jpg When you find it, take a screenshot by pressing it.

STEP TWO: Go into an application on your computer, such as Paint, or something of that sort. Finding it, would look like this: http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4863696/68222-start-paint_Full.jpg Hit "Control + V" which, is pasting the picture you already took with print screen. Then proceed to edit the image how you like, like cropping, etc. Select the part you want to keep with the select tool, then hit copy to: and do desktop, or a folder.

STEP THREE: Go to a picture hosting website, such as PhotoBucket, which I prefer to the other ones, considering it is easy. Sign up, use a junk email that you won't want any spam on (Even though I have not gotten any from PhotoBucket.) Then, you will login and find this screen: http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm314/spedtard/KYLEGUIDETHING.jpg Pick which method you want to use, and it uploads it.

STEP FOUR: If you are using this picture you uploaded to make a guide (LOL!), or if you are sending it to a friend, then after you upload it, you will see the last 20 pictures you have uploaded (I have a lot, so it shows 20 per page for me) Pick the one you just uploaded, scroll over it with your cursor, (The arrow thingy) and then pick what method you want.

-Email + IM: Use this format of a link to send to a friend, via Email or IM
-Direct Link: Use this one, for a direct link to the image
-HTML: Use this one, to put the image into your code for a website
-IMG code: Copy + paste this onto a post in a thread, and BAM! It shows the image.

STEP FIVE: Enjoy the remarks you get (If any) for the really nice looking screen shot, and then you can post them whenever, and whereever you want. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE RULES, NO PR0N PLEASE!


Yep, I made this guide.

How long did it take: 20 minutes

Credits:

-80% to me for making it
-10% to PhotoBucket for the pictures I made from their site
-10% to all you noobs (just kidding ;)) for reading this

I may need to edit this, so comment + point out any silly nonsense you find.

You do need to edit it

You gave 10 percent then you said to noobs and then you said u were just kidding. So does that mean that you get 90% or photobucket gets 20%???

It means I was kidding about calling people noobs, lol.

But, I see you said I need to edit it. Besides that, is there anything else you think should be edited?

Thanks for the comment.
