Windows 10: Problem changing the location of Screen shots

How do I remove the storage location of screenshots from desktop to a folder? My screenshots are filling up my desktop homepage and it is quite frustrating. I would I just like it to be stored in a separate folder.

When you took a screen shot with WinKey+Shift+S you should have seen a notification saying it has been saved to the clipboard....





If you click on 'Select here to mark up and share the image' then Snip & Sketch opens and gives you the chance to save the image.





You could also just open Paint and paste from the clipboard, as Matthew Wai suggested.

 

Screen Shot in Windows 10

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

• What exactly are you referring to?
• Are you facing any kind of issues with Windows?

If you want to take a screen shot and save it as picture, I suggest you to check with the below steps.

To take a screen shot and save it as a picture

• 
  Click the window you want to capture. Press Alt+Print Screen by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the Print Screen key. The Print Screen key is near the upper-right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact
  key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)
  

Note: You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the Print Screen key without holding down the Alt key.

• 
  Click Start, click Accessories, and then click
  Paint.
  
• 
  In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click
  Paste.
  
• 
  When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click
  Save As.
  
• 
  In the Save As dialog box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click
  Save.
  

Please do get back to us with the answers to assist you better with issue you are facing.
