Simply press the PrintScrn key to capture the entire contents of the screen to the clipboard. You can then using the Paste menu option inside Windows Paint or your favorite word processor, to insert the screen shot. If you want to just capture thecontents of the Active Window, then press Ctrl+PrintScrn.

For $19.95 you can buy a very nice program that captures any screen.

Thanks, but do u know how I would capture my own? I would like to have my username and the domain in it.

The problem with cut & paste solutions above are that when you login, your clipboard is immediately cleared, and you won't be able to save the screen capture that you grabbed when you were at the login screen.

I find that the easiest way to do this is to download AT&T's VNC Remote Control utility (or you can use Microsoft Netmeeting, but setting up is a bit more cumbersome).

Download VNC from http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ - load it on the PC that you want to capture the screen from. Use the included Winvnc.exe (it will be in the setup directory for VNC) util from your "monitoring" computer, and capture away...

This is a free tool, btw, so don't worry about licensing issues.

Good luck!
