It's copied to the clipboard. Open an image editor (Paint will do) and press CTRL+V or select Edit >> Paste from the menu.

That button "copies" everything on your screen and puts it into memory. To save it to a file you need to open Paint (or some other Image editing program) and paste it into a new picture. Then you can save it to your hard drive.
You can also use Alt + Prnt Scrn to take a snapshot of just the program you are using, rather than your entire screen. (To retrieve this picture requires the same process.)

When you press the button "print screen" it makes an exact snapshot of the page you are viewing. To print that page: open a text editor (Word, Word pad, etc.) - click edit then click paste. Your image will appear - then you can print.

That just puts the screenshot in your clipboard. Go to Start>All Programs>Accesories>Paint
Open Paint, and then press ctrl+v..your screenshot will appear. Save the file as a JPEG file NOT Bitmap.
You're done;)

when you press PrtScreen the picture gets copied to the clipboard. in order to view this picture, (i mean viewing only) you can use MS Paint found in Start>All programs>Accessories>Paint. open the app, and press ctrl+v in order to paste the image you print screened. You can make basic changes like cropping cutting and pasting here. for advanced features use photoshop which also supports the same ctrl+v feature from your clipboard to do advance changes to your image..!!!
