Screen shots?

**syrnypolice** · July 16th, 2004, 08:43 AM

OK I know how to do a regular screen shot by typing Print Screen or Alt+Print Screen for regular open windows on the desktop, but what about taking a screen shot of the Windows Security Box that comes up after you hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete? The box that let’s you lock your computer and change your password.

The second picture has not been cropped the same way as the first....
You remote into the pc for which you want the shutdown/startup screen shot and do an alt prtscrn from there, then crop the pic.

you cant do it unless you remote in? I want a screen shot of my own log on screen.

Do you understand the problem? You want to save to clipboard before windows has loaded the clipboard.....

Essentially putting the egg before the chicken...

I like you're solution...not the most desirable for some, but I like it!

Here's a solution: Once you're at the desired screen, lay your monitor face down on your scanner. Scan the screen, then crop it and post it.

Or if that doesn't work,.. just hold up a peice of paper to the screen and trace the image with a pencil. You can then scan in the penciled imaged and color it in using software such as photoshop. No one will ever know the difference.

Yes I understand this, but I know it is possible. I have seen these screen shots on google. I did an Image search and found a bunch of them. How did they originate? Someone had to of made them somehow.
