Press Printscreen, then go to some image editor, like paint, and paste it in there.

Once it's pasted it into Paint ( Ctrl V )and you're done messing around and saved it to your computer, you still need to change the file format from bmp (which is huge) to a gif or jpg which is a more reasonable size.

This Easy Image Converter is a simple way to do it.

Also if you want to post the image here you need a web host, some are free
like Photo Bucket.

Also, there are a number of programs you can download for Firefox such as CLICK! by snapshot.uk.jkn that give you one-click ability to take snapshots and give you a free hosting site.

Browse the Add-ons section of the Mozilla website for more.

btw: with Alt + PrintScreen you get a screenshot of only the window in focus

and you can save jpgs with paint if you change the "save as type" to JPEG.

Nice, I didn't know that.

That will be handy at work.

Can't you just right click the map and set it as your computers background? Isn't that the same as a screenshot?
