    You don't use anything other than the "Print Screen" (sometimes shown as "Prt Scr") button on your PC.

    With some keyboards you may need to press "ctrl" at the smae time.

    When you press "print Screen" it copies the screen into the clipboard, and then you can paste this into mspaint / photoshop / word etc.

    Snagit is fantastic! It isn't free, but it is well worth the money that you pay for it.
