disable screen capture?

Is it possible to disable screen capture in 10.3 and earlier?
On line testing needs this capability to be disabled before it will work.
Thanks.

Hi Michael!

I copied the info below from the Mac Help Viewer. Search Term: shortcuts


Setting custom global keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts allow you to quickly perform tasks on your computer by pressing keys on your keyboard. You can disable or change many of the computer's "global" keyboard shortcuts, which are shortcuts that work the same in all applications (for example, taking a screen capture by pressing Command-Shift-3). Changing or disabling a shortcut may be useful if, for example, one of the global shortcuts is used by a specific application for a different purpose. In this case, you can either disable the shortcut that you do not need, or assign it a different key combination.

1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
2. Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
3. To disable a shortcut, deselect the checkbox next to its description in the list.
4. To change the key combination for a shortcut, select the character in the Shortcut list. Type a new shortcut by holding down the key combination that you want to use instead.

Tip: You cannot use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.

If you want to go back to the default Mac OS X shortcuts, click Restore Defaults. This returns all the shortcuts to their original key combinations.

Good Luck!
