But now I have a different problem.  How can I use the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard to copy an image to the clipboard in CPP7, as I was able to do on my previous PC (an HP) on Windows 7?  I can't remember how I did it in Windows 7, but I think it had something to do with setting certain programs to open with certain types or files, or something like that, which I haven't been able to figure out how to do yet on Windows 10.  Any further suggestions would be very much appreciated - THANKS again for EVERYTHING.

Windows 7/8/10 have "snippingtool.exe" for picture taking.
The output is a file.

Here, I did a "screenshot" of a dual monitor setup, using snippingtool.exe .
The two monitors, are different sizes, and I asked for the whole
screen to be captured.

When you run snippingtool.exe, you can right-click the icon
in the Task Bar and select "Pin to Taskbar". That way, it's
always available for screen captures. All my setups here
keep snippingtool in the Taskbar, because I take a lot of
pictures.
