I've seen Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, but never heard of Windows XP Dummy... is that from mac? ? ?

ALT-PRTSC [alt-print screen] captures just the active window. PRTSC grabs the whole desktop. Then you can PASTE it into word or paint or whatever

Do you see that PrintScreen button on top of your keyboard?

It captured your screen in clipboard, just like copy or ctrl+c

Then you can do whatever you want with it.

If you have more questions PM me, I`ll give you my phone #

Use the windows help, really. I don`t know what shortcuts do you want, you can create your own..

I love AL-TAB, open multiple windows and try it.

One of my favorite tricks is to hit F11 while using Internet Explorer. Looks like I'm going to be learning a lot more ...
