You find the key called Print Screen on your keyboard. It is probably found above the Insert button.
Then start up paint.
Then press CTRL + V

Then save it as a .jpg and upload it to a host.
Such as Photubucket

You can choose between a rectangle area, and active window, and full screen.

Another good one is Capture from AnalogX.
You can click the system tray icon or assign hotkeys to take screenshots, active window or fullscreen, and saves them all to a directory of your choice.
Great for when you want to take screenies and not have to worry about messing with them immediately, before you end up copying something to the clipboard and overwriting your image accidentally. >_<
You can take multiple screenshots pretty fast too.
Not like a video capture, but maybe 2 per second, so you could use it for cheesy animations or something..
