8 things about windows 8: windows key + prt sc

I discovered this one by accident (thought I was pressing ALT + Print Screen) - in Windows 8 the Windows key + Print Screen takes a screen shot of the entire screen and creates a sequentially named file in the Pictures Library under a Screenshots folder!

Screenshot (1)

Screenshot (2)

etc.

the file type is PNG and it's one of my new favorite finds in Windows 8!!!
