    Some of you have come to give me criticism, some may have only read the title and think I am only talking about Minecraft screenshots, WRONG! This is how to take a screen shot of a PC screen.

    • Open your Start Menu (Screenshotting only works on XP, Vista, and 7 / 8
    Type in "Snipping Tool"
    • Snip!
    Your screen should get a white tint, if this does not happen, click the scissor button "New" and then you should get it
    • Snap!
    Drag from one point to another, the white tint should be gone by the time you have dragged it
    • Saving
    Your snip should be on a white tab showing your screenshot, you can Copy the image or save it to your computer

    HAPPY SCREENING!

    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screenshot is added to your desktop.

    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.

    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.

    This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
    Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.

    To take a screenshot of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.

    To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.

    Sharex offers 10x the functionality, such as auto uploading to imgur and other hosting sites.

    Might want to fix that, both the capitalization and the computer computer part.

    Personal Computer Computer doesn't make sense, and personal computer computer wouldn't be capitalized, even if it was at the start of a sentence.
