Take a screen shot
To take a snapshot of your screen, press and hold the Windows button on your Surface, and then press the
volume-down button. The screen dims briefly when the screen is captured. A picture of the screen is saved in the
Screenshots folder, which is in the Pictures folder. You can use File Explorer, Photos, or the OneDrive app to see
your screenshots.
You can also use the Share charm to share a screen shot with someone. For more info, see Share a link in this
guide.
Default apps
The default app is the app that Windows automatically uses when you open a type of file, such as a song, or
photo. For example, when you open a PDF file attached to an email message, you can choose which app opens
the PDF file (assuming you have more than one PDF app installed). To set your default apps:
1. Open the Settings charm, and tap or click Change PC settings > S earch and apps > Defaults.
2. You can choose a default app for the web, email, music, video, and photos. If you want to associate a file
type or protocol with an app, choose Defaults apps by file type or Default apps by protocol.
