We happened to have an old hard drive on hand from a computer we used circa-2008 or so. Personal documents that are open, web pages you are visiting, and so on. On a privacy oriented note, there is often stuff on your screen you don’t want saved. So from a practical standpoint, if you use the Print Screen button a lot, you can save yourself GBs worth of storage by disabling the screenshot function in Picasa. Although your screenshot tool of choice should still function fine, it unnecessarily clutters up your hard drive with screenshots. If you use the Print Screen button for any purpose (such as snapping screenshots with a screenshot tool or even assigning it to some function on your computer) every time you press it Picasa will simultaneously take a picture of your desktop. As long as Picasa is open, the Print Screen button is hijacked by it. First, let us emphasize this: for years Picasa has commandeered the Print Screen button and, even more irritating, there is not (and has never been despite complaints about it) a method of disabling the screen capture function in Picasa’s options menus or setting. One is just plain practical and the other is a matter of privacy. There’s two good reasons for disabling Picasa’s odd screenshot taking habits.
