ABOUT WINPRINTSCREEN

WinPrintScreen is a cool, small utility that brings the classic 'print screen' function back to Windows.

Every PC keyboard has a 'PrtScrn' key. Press it, and nothing happens! Back in the good old days of MS-DOS, before Windows existed, pressing PrtScrn made the computer generate a print-out of whatever was on the screen. Sadly, this handy feature didn't make the transition to Windows. Now, thanks to WinPrintScreen, it's back.

Instead of pressing PrtScrn, WinPrintScreen adds an icon to the System Tray. Click it, and the current screen is sent to the default printer. WinPrintScreen also stores a BMP and JPG version of the screen on the root directory of the C: drive. See the enclosed documentation file for more information.

INSTALLING WINPRINTSCREEN

Here's how to install WinPrintScreen and set it up for use.

2. Open the folder you saved the WPS1.ZIP file in.
