Can a VBS invoke a "print Screen" and open and paste the cipboard contents in Microsoft Photo Editor? Further, can the VBS be invoked via a keystroke (so as not to add unwanted Windows elements to the Print Screen). I'm not a programmer, and truly have no idea were to begin.

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated

I have done scripts like this for automating user creations from a GUI while supplying userids and other information from a text file mostly from Kixtart. You would need to figure out VBS solution for sendkeys so you can automate the sending of keystrokes like alt-printscreen and then run mspaint.exe and a ctrl-v etc. Good luck with this.
