Purrint turns your PrtSc button into an actual Print Screen button

The Print Screen key on most computers is really just there to taunt you. Seriously, what other purpose could it have? Hitting it doesn't actually print anything. It just copies an image to your clipboard. Who thought that was a good idea? Well, sure, copying to your clipboard is handy, but shouldn't the key be called "Copy Screen?"

If you'd like to make the Print Screen button do what is promises though, check out Purrint. This tiny little Windows utility hangs out in your system tray and changes the behavior of your keyboard's most baffling button. When you hit Print Screen, a window will pop up asking if you want to copy the screen to your clipboard, save the image as a file, or actually print it.

You can also click the options button to set the default behavior and skip this pop-up menu altogether.
