How can I save a screenshot directly to a file in Windows?
- by David
In Windows XP, one can press Alt-PrintScreen to copy an image of the active window, or Ctrl-PrintScreen to copy an image of the full desktop.
This can then be pasted into applications that accept images: Photoshop, Microsoft Word, etc.
I'm wondering: Is there a way to save the screenshot directly to a file? Do I really have to open Photoshop simply to paste an image, then save it?
