1. Left click the window on the desktop you want to copy.

2. Press ALT + Print Screen button on your keyboard at the same time.

3. Open up MS Paint. Go to edit and then paste.

4. the active window image should be pasted automatically.

Save the file.

You are done.

Only downside it's not freeware, and most folk have to pay for it

Snagit 8.2

I use Screenhunter since print screen is kind of annoying.

I might consider the free version of Screenhunter.
