Run is the quickest way to open Paint on a Windows computer. To start, the command is ' mspaint ' and works in XP, 7, 10 and earlier versions. Microsoft Paint is a useful application that comes with the Windows operating system. With this tool we can edit different images such as JPG, BMP, JPEG, PNG, etc. Additionally, we can use the Print Screen button to capture the screen and save it via MS Paint. In short, it's mini Photoshop 🙂 for beginners.
The above image of the Microsoft Paint application was taken with the print screen and the paint tool.
