Command-Ctrl-Shift-4. I did this, it mad ethe camera sound, but thats all.

I used this key combination to take a screen shot, so I thought. It made the picture snapping noise, but I cannot find a file of where it could be. Anyone know what I was doing?

Macbook Pro 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB Ram, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Shift Command 3 takes a snap of the entire Desktop - saves as Picture1.png to the top level of the main hard drive

Shift Command 4 gives a selector box and saves to the same location

The [ctrl] key is not required

I understand now. I guess the control just keeps it from saving the picture. It makes the noise, just not the file. I think I have it now. Thanks.
