save a copy of a print screen

[mjlucas49]

I am creating a slide presentation in Power Point. The presentation includes
a discussion of changing domain passwords. I want to make a slide that
includes a screen capture of the screen you get when you press CTRL + ALT +
DELETE.

Any ides are appreciated.

Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, when the dialog box comes up press ALT+PRINTSCREEN.
Click the "Cancel" button to close the dialog box. Open a graphics program
(like Microsoft Photo Editor or Microsoft Picture Manager) and paste in the
image. Save it as a JPG, PNG, or maybe BMP (if you have to). Switch back
to PowerPoint and click "Insert', "Picture", "From file", browse to and
select your image you just saved. You could save a step or two after
capturing the image by switching straight to PowerPoint, clicking the "Edit"
menu, selecting "Paste Special", then choose one of the options.

Bill,

Does that work for you? It doesn't for me. We are running on a Novell
network, and when I CTRL-ALT-DELETE, ALT-PRINTSCREEN doesn't work. I end
up with nothing on the clipboard, so I can't paste into a graphics
program or directly into PowerPoint. I suspect this might vary based on
what pops up when you CTRL-ALT-DELETE.

A few years ago I needed the same thing, plus the install screens for Win 2k
and XP. I used VMware, which created a virtual machine that runs in a
window. This is very cool stuff, it has a BIOS, and everything. Microsoft
has a similar tool, called Virtual PC.

You end up running a completely isolated copy of whatever OS you want in
that virtual window. Screen caps of the BIOS are slick...
