How to capture a screen

There are times when you need to show someone all that at the moment you have displayed on the screen of the monitor. Such a need may arise, for example, when corresponding with technical support, when you can't exactly describe the problem with your computer, and much better would be to show it graphically in the form of pictures. Whatever the reason, take a picture of the monitor screen will not be a big difficulty, especially if you use the guidelines below.
