FN-FORUM: Disable print screen & paste

date posted 13th October 2006 19:28

Hi,
Client I'm currently working at needs the ability (company wide but
based on A/D policy) to be able to disable from a specified application;

Using Print Screen (either the whole screen / desktop or just those
windows of a specific application)
Using Copy & Paste to paste a captured window into (say) Word and print
it from there

We know there's a registry hack to I think redirect the printscreen key
to not capture but it requires a reboot between changes and the PCs are
often used by multiple users.

The actual specific software concerned enables / disables printing from
within it by user logon, it's the "external" stuff that they want to
stop as well.

Obviously we know that (a) you can just write down the information and
(b) you can take a screen shot using a camera phone (quality is pretty
good we've tried), but they'd like to at least shut down the obvious
stuff.

Answers on a postcard !

Cheers
Andy
