Print Screen Button

[Rae D]

Using Prt Sc shares a button with Home. I want to be able to print what's on
the screen, but clicking it just sends me back to top of page.

Print Screen sends the screen to the clipboard - not the printer. Paste into
a document and print that.

Download the free IrfanView graphics utility. Then Use Prt Scr to capture
the whole screen or Alt + Prt Scr to capture the active window or dialog,
then launch IrfanView and use Ctrl+V to paste in the capture screen shot.
Edit as required and save as a jpg or one of the other 100 odd formats
supported by IrfanView.

Print Screen takes a screen shot; you can then paste the screen shot into Paint
(or another graphic editor).

Note that if you want to place the active window on the clipboard, press Alt +
Print Screen.

It sounds like you're using a laptop. There is probably a Fn button that you
have to press in order to activate the secondary function of the
Home/PrintScreen key. Sometimes these secondary functions will be printed in
a different color (green, for example), so you look for a button that says
Fn in green. On my HP laptop, the secondary function has a box around it,
and the boxed Fn key is between the left Alt key and the Windows key.
