print screen to file...펌

There is no way to save directly to a file without a 3rd party tool before Windows 8.1. Here are my personal favorite non-third party tool solutions.

For Windows 8.1

+ PrintScreen saves the screenshot into a folder in <user>/Pictures/Screenshots

For Win 7

In win 7 just use the snipping tool: Most easily accessed via pressing Start, then typing "sni" (enter). or then sni enter

Prior versions of Windows

I use the following keyboard combination to capture, then save using mspaint. After you do it a couple times, it only takes 2-3 seconds:

1. Alt+PrintScreen
2. Win+R ("run")
3. type "mspaint" enter
4. Ctrl-V (paste)
5. Ctrl-S (save)
6. use file dialog
7. Alt-F4 (close mspaint)
