Don't think so. The PrintScreen button just does a dump of the screen buffer (video memory) into RAM. You could, I suppose, build an app that would constantly clear the Clipboard. However, it would have to do so constantly, and that means sucking up resources, AND would mean you could never use the Clipboard.

Bottom line, no. PrintScreen was specifically designed to by-pass OS control.
