OK, have the desktop on-screen and then press 'print screen' - it's a key usually at the top right of the keyboard. Might be shortened to Prt Scr.

Then, go to MS Paint, then select Edit > Paste.

The picture of your desktop should appear on screen.

Then save the image.

Then go to www.imageshack.us and upload.

Then copy the link into the reply window smile.gif

I have loads of pictures on mine because I never no exactly where my home folder is and so don't save them in there.

Go to the command prompt.
Type cd and press enter to change into your home directory.
Type pwd and press enter to show which folder you're currently in; i.e. where your home directory is.

The PrtSC Button doesn't work!!!
Oddball
Hmm.

On your keyboard, do you have a Function Lock button, or F-lock? Try pressing that, and then trying again. On my old keyboard it had one of those and none of the top row would work unless it was on.

Otherwise, I don't know...
