What does Alt+PrintScreen do?  I know that Control+PrintScreen is the 
Windows shortcut to Copy an image of the foreground window to the clipboard. 
Additionally, I discovered that my favorite combination, 
Control+Shift+PrintScreen is used in VMware Workstation to perform a screen 
capture.  Unfortunately, I  tried several different combinations with 
PrintScreen, and so far, none have worked.
