Boy, this discussion has gone around in circles since I first sent it. My
original question asked if there was an easy way to prevent someone from
using the Windows screen print or copy/paste functions to copy sensitive
information from the screen. There is no way to prevent someone from
manually copying the information (either by typing it into a different
document or writing it on paper.) My intention was to stop the quick easy
copying of the information. There's a leap of magnitude in speed and ease
between doing a screen print and writing a screen's worth of information.

Re: How can I prevent PC screen print - for encryption
Excuse me if I step on some toes here, but I can't help it. I've been
reading thru this message thread and the term "paranoia" keeps coming
to mind. I like the Wikipedia definition best - "a disturbed thought
process characterized by excessive anxiety or fear, often to the point
of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes
persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat."

What's not to stop someone from using cut/paste functions on the
emulator to paste it into a word doc, or txt file, etc.
