Thanks very much for the assistance. @chanalku91uggestion is brilliant. Like the software looks harmless - very simple and fast to install (so far anyway) and it works brilliant with the press of Print Screen only. There's a little menu that appears at the bottom of the screen where you can get an instant URL for posting the print screen. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Think I'll also check out for Imgur apps, but for now I'm well served with Lightshot Print Screen. it's really light!
It's great, but unfortunately the Lightshot tool won't work for creating tutorials. As it loads Lightshot with the screenshot. Guess my next step is to look for an Imgur app - checked out @tryp4vps's suggestion and found an app for Windows - but am in two minds as not sure whether there will be some viruses with this one. Guess if they submit it to Imgur it should be OK?

OK that worked! It led me to this download page:

However, of course there's a risk involved here. I took it but maybe you'll pause and think about it first before you take the plunge.
It's a Windows app. Once downloaded you have to set it up to work with your account by providing it with your Imgur user name and password. Note the app is in your Windows Icon Tray - you'll have to search for it to work with it. And right click over the app icon in the tray to get the options to work with. From then onwards you can use the app to send the file or image from clipboard to your Imgur account for processing into a link. The clipboard is a bit of a hit and miss as I get some "fails" with it but getting it from a file straight to your account so far worked flawlessly and very fast every time. Quality of the image is not of the best though. Don't know why. It still is a project in progress. Will see how it works when I post my next tutorial.
