      I guess be stupid!

      I wanted to create a screen shot to post on another thread and your advice was to use MS Paint as one option for doing this by saving it as a Jpeg file. Try as I might I could not find any an option for this on the Paint menus. So I tryed the "Help Menu" but no search or Index lookup could find Jpeg or jpg or "File conversion". So I guess I need "File Conversion For Idiots". But you said it was straight forward.

        Promethus: Not all versions of Windows came with MSPaint that could do JPG compression, I believe I was talking to someone who had Windows XP at the time.

        This may come as a surprise to you, but when you search the help files for features the programs don't have...the chances are you won't find much.

            Horse, if I were you I wouldn't keep bumping the thread where you whine because you can't figure out how to move the taskbar around.

              "You Believe"? He did not say what OS he was using. You made that leep yourself. U ass-u-me everyone starts from your knoweledge base.

                If you're talking about the Desktop thread I've helped him troubleshoot WinXP before...

                Now who's the one making the assumptions?

                So let me get this straight:
              • Horse can't figure out how to move his taskbar around -- surely this is not his fault. It's the OS', damnit!
              • Promethus took advice I was giving to someone else and tried to do it on his computer and couldn't get it to work. It's Asher's fault, damnit!

                Did I miss something?

                Oh, and genius, it was MrWhereItsAt that was giving the instructions on how to paste and make JPGs in MSPaint.

                I simply said hit PRINTSCREEN and paste the image into a photo editing program (like MSPaint, Photoshop, PSP, etc).

                    I'm not even talking about Microsoft!

                    I'm talking about interface design and documentation for ANY program, I really don't care who made it.

                    Why is it that every time I discuss computers everyone always stops arguing and starts flaming me calling me a MS apologist?

                    It's getting really ****ing old, and I'm not going to put up with it anymore.

                            Now we've progressed to the stage of putting words into my mouth. That's great.
