Also, some uses for that are to:Show someone a problem you are seeingGrab a picture on a site you can't normally (anti-right-click sites)Show your actual desktop setupShow a screenshot of something you're working onShow a conversation you had with someone elseJust to show that it's actually very useful.Also, there are a few programs that will automatically print screen and put them in sequential images (or keep overwriting the same one), as a sort of desktop webcam thing.

I do not think that this is a problem for gecko-based browsers (i.e. Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, etc). You can right-click regardless. If you're a diehard Internet Explorer user, another way you can get past this, without taking a screenshot, is to look at the source to determine the url of the image, and then plug that into the address bar.

Ha.. i think everybody already knew about it, at least they will realize some key called "print Screen" in one side of her/his keyboard..

@clagnol - actually, try visiting integramod.com in firefox. no right clicking. and yes, you could do the source thing, but not for images in a shockwave/flash movie.@sandymc - you'd be surprised how many people don't know what the buttons do on their keyboard, or mouse, or computer in general. I still dunno what to use my Turbo button for, or the Pause Break button.

I visited integramod.com and had no problems right-clicking on any of the images in the album or main sections of the website. Is there some other place within integramod.com that prohibits right-clicking?

Already knew that but thanks anyway, also if you didnt know that, you may also not know that alt+print screen only copies the current window (which I did not know until 2 days ago when my ICT teacher decided to tell me.

Oh, that's odd, for me it won't let me. But I'm using one of the overnight builds, so that might affect something. You are using firefox, right?

 

@ bureX -- Please don't post tips if they've already been posted. Thanks.

How to take a screen shot of your Desktop.

 

You are not the only one, lots I mean lots of people have asked me on how to do this. And I amazed on how many people do and dont know about this. Doing this is really useful when making a walkthrough for a game like i did for Hitman, I took screenshots and made it a picture walkthrough.
