Your edit at Screenshot
Hi, here you changed "None of the big operating systems have built-in mechanisms to record videos of the screen" into "Versions 9 and 10 of Windows Media Player have a built in screen capture utility". But then you finish the sentence by adding "export the on screen image as a picture file". So does your proposed solution really capture a *video* of what's on your screen or is it rather a picture?

 * Sorry, my mistake, I'm very new at this and didn't read the article properly. The solution only produces a image of the frame that was/is on screen. I thought that part of the article was about the problem of not being able to capture an image from a video using the Print Screen button. I have now realised that part of the article was higher up titled "Hardware overlays" Maybe you could add my solution of the problem of the blank rectangle. Standardelephant

Well hey easy, welcome to the wikipedia! :-) Actually, that section was about recording *movies* from your screen (so the result is a video file of what is on your screen, how the mouse pointer moves around etc.). I'll revert it back. Sorry I didn't understand your edit completely, maybe it would fit better with Windows Media Player, as this is about an application-specific shortcut?
