Shift + Print Screen (to the right of F12). The image will then be on the clipboard, and you can paste it where you want, Word, Paint, Photoshop and so on.

If you use Ctrl + Shift + Print Screen you will get an image of only the active window.

You dont need to find it (I dont even know if you CAN find it). When you use the Printscreen thing you in effect just copy the current image on your screen. To see it, you just go into PhotoShop (or Word or whatever. :)) and paste... and woot, there it is.

I play Arena and Daggerfall from WindowsXP with this:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

As a matter of fact that has allowed me to get about 98% of my old-school collection up and running.
