1. Press printscreen
2. Open Windows own Paint application, every Windows version has it since forever.
3. Press Ctrl+V and save the file in whichever format you like
Also, you can only have one screenshot taken by printscreen at a time, everytime you press printscreen a new shot is taken and the one before it is deleted. That's why I like to use Steams own built in screenshot function, just press F12 and it creates a .jpg file for your screenshot and you can take as many as you like without having to do the above mentioned stone-age procedure. You can also upload your Steam screenies to your very own Steam screenshot gallery and share it with friends, that's what I do. Phew!

Well, when I take a screenshot it goes right to this folder, no fuss no muss...  instant view with no other program involved
