If she has a keyboard with an F-Lock key, have her press that key. Then
press the needed keys for screen capture. PrtScn for capturing the entire
desktop. Alt+PrtScn to capture the active window only.

As others have mentioned already, this action places the image into the
clipboard. From there, your friend will need to paste to a program that
supports graphic data. Word or Paint are two examples of programs that
could be used.
