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.

1 HOW TO FIX 'NOT RESPONDING' ERRORS IN WINDOWS.

When using Microsoft windows,we sometimes encounter a ‘Program Not Responding’ error which can be quite frustrating especially when an important work is being done.

Sometimes,it may even cause the System to freeze-up thereby forcing a re-start.
In the process,all unsaved datas will be lost.

Though,this problem is common only with Windows XP,as newer versions of Windows do not need a re-start to fix these kind of issues.

When this error comes up in Windows XP,a message box appears asking if you'd like to report the problem to Microsoft.
If you do not wish to,you can click on this dialog box to make it disappear.

So in today's write-up,we will cover the basic steps on how to disable this feature if you find it somewhat distracting and so also fix Windows when this error occurs.

How To Disable Error Reporting In Windows XP.

1. Right-click on “My Computer” and select ‘Properties’
2. From the Properties window,click on `Advanced́ tab and click the “Error Reporting” button.
3. Check the box next to “Disable error reporting” and leave the other unchecked i.e “But notify me when critical errors occur”
4. Finally,click on "OK".

That's all for disabling the error message.
Now,to fix the problem,follow the instructions below.

1. Launch the Task Manager by right-clicking on the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen and selecting ‘Task Manager’ or in the case whereby the system hangs up,you can access the Task manager by holding Ctrl + Alt + Del and selecting it from the list of options.
2. Click on “Applications” tab and locate the program not responding.
   You can do that by checking the status of all open applications.
   [All applications not responding have Not responding as their status.]
3. Next, right-click on the program to end and select “End Task”.
   ‘OK’ it.

Now,you can exit the task manager and see your OS fixed.
