How to Change the Print Screen Key

Download the MapKeyboard program and use it to make the "Print Screen" key perform any function. It also allows you to disable the key so that nothing happens when you press it. The installation file is small, and Windows does not have to load it into memory.

Install AutoHotKey. AutoHotKey is a macro program that enables computer owners to automate Windows functions. You can also use it to remap your keyboard. You do not have to be a programmer to use the software. To remap your "PrintScreen" key, create a text file that contains a simple text string. This string defines how you want the "PrintScreen" key to work. The program will process the text file and remap the key.

Use Key Remapper. This simple utility does nothing but remap keyboard keys. Its user interface allows you to create new mappings using a wizard that guides you through the process. Use the wizard to give the "Print Screen" key new functionality, or disable the key completely.
