    Then there are two options to copy these images in Windows XP, Just open the required image page website, one option deal with this the Print Screen Button on your Keyboard and other is press Alt- Print Screen Button. If you simply press Print Screen Button after open a image from any site, here you can copies the entire windows to the Clipboard, and if you press Alt- Print Screen Button, Windows XP copy the only active window.

    Now you can use any Graphic Tools like (Adobe Photoshop, Paint) to manage and print this image. Just open one tool then paste this image, this will paste all Clipboard contents into Paint. Now you can print, save this image or can do more work on this image.

    press the the Print Scr button by the F12 button at the top of the keyboard. If you just want a screenshot of the program you have up and not the rest around it like the start toolbar. Press Alt and the Print Scr button. You are then able to paste the picture.

    hit print screen. You then need to open somthing like word or panit and right click and select paste.

    FYI...Holding alt key while pressing print screen will screen shot only the highlighted window.
