It saves it in the clipboard. You can paste it into a photo editing program and save as whatever you want... I use .jpg because it's good quality and small.

Open the Photo Editor, under 'edit,' select paste or paste as new image.

I am sure Lonmans not alone in this issue... its a well handy tool... why use third party software when you can use windows?

(quick poll of an IT office and only 33% of people knew it lol!!)

also if you hold down the ALT key and press Print Screen key , it will open copy the active window and not the entire screen !!!
