I have a Mac that is running Windows 7 through Bootcamp. I am using an external Mac keyboard and I want to take a screenshot but I have not had any success. I tried to google the soltuion, but all the answers that I found said to press Alt + F13.

So, what is the solution?

If at all possbile, I don't want to resort to installing additional programs.

Are you sure there's a F13 button? ;) – Jin Sep 28 '11 at 13:48
Yes, why not? . – Roflcoptr Sep 28 '11 at 14:05
As it turns out, my ignorance got the better of me. Oops. – Jin Sep 28 '11 at 14:07
@Jin - I am not an Apple guy, but I'm under the impression a standard Mac keyboard has 15 function keys. – Shinrai Sep 28 '11 at 14:09
@Shinrai Yeah, figured that out with a bit of googling. Learnt something new today :) – Jin Sep 28 '11 at 14:10

Create a keyboard shortcut with the built-in snipping tool.

Start > Accessories > Snipping Tool > Properties > Shortcut

enter image description here

Click in the Shortcut key text box and enter your desired key combination.

Windows 7 has a built in screenshot software, its called Snipping Tool.

It can be found on the All Programs > Accessories menu

GreenShot is a program (similar to SnagIt) where you're able to specify what keystroke to capture the image. You can also do selections as well as the whole screen.
