Windows 10: How to move the default Screenshots folder

On my Windows 10 Professional, the default folder where screenshots are saved when I press Prt Sc is C:\Users\xxx\OneDrive\Public\Pictures. I did not set this up. Windows one day just decided to use this folder.


C:\Users\xxx\OneDrive\Public\Pictures is not a Library folder. The folder properties does not have a Location option.


How do I choose the default folder to store screenshots?

Windows 10 screenshots not going to default folder anymore.

I suspect they still go to the default location but that you modified this location. You can find out what it is like so:

1. Mark the code line below (it extends over two screen lines) and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
2. Press the Windows key + R
3. Press Ctrl+V to paste the code line, then press Enter.

cmd /c reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "my pictures" & pause
