Saving A Screen Picture
So many people don’t know this simple but useful Windows trick!!
Suppose you need to include a picture of a particular Web site in a newsletter or memo. There’s no need to go to a lot of trouble. All you have to do is press Alt + Print Screen. This will capture the active screen and save it to the Windows Clipboard. Now, you can run Paint or another graphics program and press Ctrl + V to paste the picture into the paint program. There you can crop and edit to get exactly the part you want. Or, if you’re currently working on your newsletter and you want the whole image, you can just paste the picture directly into your word processor.
Next Microsoft Operating System
Windows 7: The Next Microsoft Operating System
By: Martin Brinkmann
Windows 7 is tentatively due to hit store shelves sometime around the middle of 2009 and seems to be a slightly revamped version of what Windows Vista should have been. Key amongst the new features include a pair of Mac OS X features that the Redmond giant is borrowing: the Dock & Multi-touch.
In Mac OS X the Dock serves as both a quick-launch area for commonly used applications and folders. It’s unknown how the dock in Windows 7 will function exactly, but it wouldn’t surprise many if the final product looked and operated remarkably like that of their Cupertino-based rival.
Windows 7: The next Microsoft operating system is also going to support a very Mac-like Multi-touch technology. The precise functionality is not entirely certain but it is very likely that the techniques pioneers on the iPhone and later by OS X are likely to become the industry norm. If that does indeed come true then it’d be reasonable to expect everything from zooming & scrolling to be common in all applications as well as rotational control on anything media-intensive such as Photoshop or even the media player.

Network Printing from DOS programs
There are still old DOS based programs being run today on many computers. Mostly older retail systems or custom systems that were created many years ago and they just keep running. Here’s some info on network printing in a DOS enviroment with Win XP or Windows 2000.
Printing from DOS Programs under Windows XP or Windows 2000
In Windows 9x, there was a button in the printer properties to “capture printer port”. Windows 2000 and XP don’t have this button, so to print from a program running a Command Prompt window or an emulated DOS environment you may have to use a subterfuge. There are three cases:
- The printer is a Local Printer and the print device is connected directly to a parallel port (e.g. LPT1).
In this case, you should not have to anything to be able to print from a Command Prompt, from an emulated DOS prompt (command.com) or a DOS (16 bit) program.
- The printer is a Local Printer and the print device is connected to a USB or some other kind of port (e.g. a Standard TCP/IP port).
In this case, you need to either:
pool the port the printer is on with the LPT1 port
or
create a share for the printer and map the printer to an emulated local port that DOS knows about (e.g. LPT1). Do steps 1 through 7 below
