Snipping Tool (WIN + Shift + S): Screenshot save location?

answered by @PCR Just PCR

My path is different

When Saving Screenshots

Using

Win + Shift + s

The Temp Folder Path for me is

Path

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState\ScreenClip

Tip 1/

Create a shortcut for any user

just paste that exact path above into the path property of a new shortcut

Tip 2/

Create a shortcut in the ScreenClip folder linking to any folder you commonly want to move shortcuts too

Tip 3/

That folder contains a thumbnail & a full size clip. All Thumbnails & screen Clips can be renamed/deleted at will without creating any problems

Tip 4/

using Win + Shift + s normally launches a quick action toolbar in the notification area which adds a step

(I found it annoying as I was taking many screenshots, so I turned it off)

The common suggestion is to open paint and past it in there to create a screenshot.

I find it much easier to just go direct to the temp Folder using the path above.

Tip 5/

To Process many screenshots efficiently

0/Empty the folder (of screenshots & thumbnails before taking a sequence of new shots

1/Take your shots then delete all the small files (screenshots)

2/Order the files by date created

3/Select all the remaining files

4/Right-click on the first file of my selection and give it a meaningful name

(windows renames all selected files PLUS appends sequential numbers)

5/Move my Newly sequentially named files to my desired location

Is there a way to get both of these things with a shortcut:

1. Snip of screen, rather than fullscreen (like the snipping tool does).

2. Along with automatically saving to the Screenshots folder?

That'd be so great! It is available on other OS.

When I took a screenshot, Windows told me I wanted to try: WIN + Shift + S

So, I did. But, where is this screenshot other than the clipboard?

I can paste directly into OneNote, or whatever image program, but I don't want that. I want a timestamped screenshot or the "Shortcut" is not for what I need to do.

Is there a fourth button in the combo to actually save the screenshot? This is so weird to me. Not an improvement. Would be an improvement IF it were saved automatically. Is there really not a folder somewhere that these shots are stored automatically?
