Hello!

This is a one click (if on the taskbar) opportunity to make a screenshot, if you do not have a conventional keyboard, which is the case of using Windows on Mac (e.g. with Boot Camp).

This tiny software makes a screenshot, emulating the conventional for Windows_10 combination of pressing WIN+PrtScn.

No sound is heard, so the dimming of the screen is the only confirmation if it has been made.

The app is for Windows 10 with Java installed.

!!! Install Java - choose 'Windows Online' - from: java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Just to remind, the screenshots are put into C:\Users\your_user_name\Documents\Pictures\Screenshots
And you can get there via "This PC"-"Pictures"-"Screenshots" too.

If you want to make a screenshot out of the full screen, please try this: https://superuser.com/questions/11061...

If it doesn't work, please let me know.

Best regards!
