    1. Close or minimise all windows (windows key + m)
    2. Press Control + Print screen this will copy your desktop to the clipboard.
    3. Open Microsoft Paint, Start > All programs >Accessories >Paint
    4. In paint select edit >paste (or control + v)
    5. In paint select save as
    6. In the save as window put desk as the filename and save as type jpeg - it defaults to saving in My Pictures. Now press Save.
    7. You now have a photo of your desktop in your My Pictures folder. The file is desk.jpg
