This creates a file on your Mac Desktop with a funky name such as Screen Shot 2013.png. You can now check this file and of course rename it by using the mouse to click with the cursor and edit the name.

Special Tip#2: How to Take a Screen Snapshot (PC) video

 Find the button on your keyboard that says PRINT SCREEN. It might be abbreviated as PR SC and it might require by virtue of its color that you hold down CTRL or FUNCTION or ALT. Anyway, this button all by itself takes the screen snapshot but it does not create a file. It puts a copy of the screen into the RAM chip of the computer as if you had pressed CTRL-C. Now you need to go to some application and paste with CTRL-V. One common place to go is to the application within ACCESSORIES called PAINT. Another common place is Microsoft Word.
