Before you hit the shift-print screen key, make sure that what is on the screen is what you want to printr.

This use of "copy and paste" will probably also work in other windows graphic type programs but I haven't tried any others.

...let me know if you have any problems

>Use Windows Explorer and go to the following folder. C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

Select the picture you want to print, right click the image and select print.

This is where Windows keeps all background photos. If you want to add some background pictures for your desktop, just copy the picture to this folder.

>I am using Windows-2000 and do not have a C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper directory (or even a C:\Windows directory) on my computer. The directory in 2000 would be C:\WINNT\Web\Wallpaper. Not one of the images in this directory is used in my collection of screensavers since I have an aftermarket screensaver program.

So,..... this method will be dependent on your Windows version and your choice of screensaver.

>The info I provided assumed Win XP. If you are using a second party screensaver check the help files (F1 Key)to see where the program stores the images. If the name of the image is displayed do a search using Window Explorer.
