Disable Print Scr in XP for partucular application

[sharavan]

How to disable only the print screen key for a particular
application, say for example user should not give a print
screen from Notepad.
Rest applications user should be able to give a print
screen.

It cannot be done. Print Screen is system wide feature and works regardless
of application. The only solution would be if application took control of
entire system, but even then it wouldn't work because one could run that
application inside a virtual machine (see www.vmware.com or Microsoft
Virtual PC).
