I am trying to email photos using the "Share Charm" on Windows 8. The only image that image I can obtain is a "Screenshot" image of my entire desktop. How do I disable screenshot?

"I am trying to email photos using the "Share Charm" on Windows 8."

You need to make sure you are viewing the photo in an app downloaded from the Windows Store.


How to Use the Share Charm

This charm works only when used with apps from the Windows Store and it is used to share items using other apps. These items can be web addresses (links), multimedia files (photos, video, music, etc), files from the SkyDrive, etc. Items can be shared via e-mail or with people from your People app.

In Windows 8.1 you can also use this charm to take screenshots and share them using a Windows app.

In Windows 8, trying to use the Share charm on the Desktop or from desktop applications will get you to nowhere, as it will only say that "Nothing can be shared from the desktop".
