0 How to Change The Default Location of The Screenshots Folder in Windows 8

Taking of screenshots in Windows 8 has taken another dimension.
Unlike the previous versions of Windows which requires the use of third-party Softwares like “Greenshot” or launching the default Snipping tool, it's now much more convenient using just one key combination.

By default, all screenshots taken by the new 'screenshot tool' in Windows 8 are saved in the directory C:\Users\\Pictures\Screenshots.
Nevertheless, you might want to move the default folder to a new directory in order to make it easier to locate and backup.

Therefore, in this tutorial I'll be putting you through the easy steps of going about this.
Note » This method works on both Windows 8 and Windows RT.
HERE'S HOW TO GO ABOUT IT...

1. Open the Windows explorer and navigate to C:\Users\\Pictures\Screenshots - Replace "" with your Pc's User name.
2. Right-click in the 'Screenshots folder' and select Properties from the list of options in the popup menu.

3. Click the “Location” tab on the "Properties" box and then click on the “Move” button.
4. Navigate to the NEW folder you wish to use as the DEFAULT folder and then click Select Folder.
5. Click “OK” to accept the new changes.
6. Finally, you'll see a Move folder dialog box asking if you want to move all existing files from the previous folder to the new default folder.
   Click ‘Yes’ to accept or ‘No’ to cancel it.

And, that's it...

To restore the default location i.e C:\Users\\Pictures\Screenshots,

• Navigate to the newly assigned/custom folder
• Right-click inside the folder and select “Properties” from the pop-up menu.
• In 'Location' tab, click Restore Default.
• (The previous/default Screenshots folder path will be inserted into the edit box) - Click ‘OK’.
• A dialog any will appear asking if you want to create the Screenshots folder - Click ‘YES’
• Finally, you'll be asked if you want to move all files in the old location to the new location i.e The original location - Click ‘YES’
  Note:-
  Since the Custom Screenshots folder is probably opened,you could get a warning stating that the location's not available. - Click ‘OK’ and restart the Window's Explorer if it crashes because of this.

39 HOW TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS ON COMPUTER.

This post can be said to be the third-part on Screenshots-taking,with part 1 & 2 being “How to take Screenshots on Java and Symbian phones.”
Though,those two posts specifically talked about taking screenshots on mobile phones.

In this tutorial,I will be taking you through the flight on “how to take screenshot on both Windows & Mac OS”.
So,fasten your seat-belt & let's begin…

How to Take Screenshot in Windows.

There are couple of ways to capture a screen in Windows.
So,the easiest of them is what we will be going through here.

1. The first is by using the default screen-capture key on every computer,i.e The PrtScn on your keyboard.
   Locate it & let's start.
   • To take the shot of everything currently displaying on the screen including all open windows,press PrtScn.
     This will be automatically placed in the Clipboard.
   • To capture just the active window,press Alt+PrtScn.
   • Now to save the shots,open Microsoft paint by navigating to
     Start » Programs » Accessories » Paint and paste it there.
   • Next,select “File”from the top menu and choose “Save as”
   • Finally,give it any name you want and choose a directory to save the image.
2. The second method involves using the “SPINNING TOOL”.

   This tool is by default part of both Windows 7 & Windows vista.

   It is capable of capturing a specified area of a page instead of the whole screen as with the previous method.
   You can choose to use an amoeba-like[irregular] shape,a rectangle or capture the whole screen.

   How To Use “SNIPPING TOOL”.

   • Go to start » All Programs » Accessories » Snipping Tool.
   • Select a snipping type by clicking on the arrow next to “New” button.
   • Select the window or portion of the screen you want to capture using your mouse.
   • To highlight part of the screenshot,click on the pen/highlighter button in the menu.
   • Likewise,to capture a menu/drop-down menu,press ESC after you've launched the Snipping tool,then open the menu you want to capture & press Ctrl + PrtScn.

THAT'S ALL FOR WINDOWS.

How To Take Screenshot on Mac OS X.

Mac OS has an in-built screen-grabbing function,which enables you to take shots by clicking on some key combinations.

When these keys are pressed,a click sound will be heard,then the screen-shot will immediately be saved in .PNG format.

• To capture the whole screen,press Cmd + Shift + 3 all at once.
• To capture just a portion of the screen,press Cmd + Shift + 4.
  Just drag the crosshair that appears around the area to be captured.
• To capture a specific window,press Cmd + Shift + 4 and immediately after that,hit the Spacebar.
  The crosshair will then turn into a small camera,highlighting all menus that can be captured.

That's all.
I believe taking of screenshots shouldn't be a difficult task for you any longer.
