Have you ever wanted to do a screen capture of your computer screen and save it as an image? It’s easy on a Mac, but you have to know the right key combination on a PC. In the upper row of your keyboard are keys labeled F1, F2, etc. While holding down the F11 key, click on BOTH the Ctrl key and the alt key at the same time. You’ll probably notice the screen give a quick flicker. Then open your image editing program (e.g. Photoshop Elements, or Paint, or I think any image program will work. Open a new document with a white or transparent background and then use the paste function. (You can probably find it in a drop down menu under Edit, or use the shortcut Ctrl v - the Control key ‘Ctrl’ and the letter ‘v’ key. From there you can crop it to whatever portion you want, as I did in the IE8 post.
If you don’t remember that it’s F11 just look for the words on the key under the number - ‘Print Scrn’. Hope this is helpful to you!
