File>Run>mspaint comes with every Windows computer after 3.1. When you run that it comes up with a blank image you can edit.

If you're using Razor or another screenshot tool you can either go to File>Open and browse to the picture and then select it, or drag the file from the folder into the main window of Paint and it will open.

If you're using Razor or another screenshot tool you can either go to File>Open and browse to the picture and then select it, or drag the file from the folder into the main window of Paint and it will open.

If you just hit print screen and have no file on the hard drive, press CTRL+V to paste it into the window.

Hit Ctrl+A to select the entire image.

Click on the image somewhere and drag it to the top left until you've cropped that side sufficiently.

Click outside the selected area (usually the white part) and it will cancel the selection tool.

Go to the bottom right of the white part and drag that until you've cropped the other side sufficiently.

Go to File> Save as and save it as a new name (recommended) or simply click Save and it will overwrite the old image.

The cropped picture will now be named as that new image, or will have replaced the old one.
