Thanks for that, Paul, but isn't there a way that I can get the screenshot function to copy the image to the clipboard in Corel Photo-Paint 7?  Whenever I take a screenshot, I go in CPP7 & click on "New from Clipboard" on the drop-down menu for "File" in the upper left corner of CPP7, but all I get is some type of illegible text of something that I had copied before rather than the image that I just took a screenshot of.

I somehow got it to work fine on Windows 7 on my old HP PC, but I haven't yet figured out how to do so on Windows 10 on my new Dell PC.  I seem to remember a way to open certain types of files with certain programs for Windows 7, and I think that's likely how I somehow got the image clipboard from screenshots to open in CPP7.
