Summary

  • To change the default screenshot folder location on a Windows PC, take a screenshot first to create the folder, then open File Explorer and navigate to the Pictures folder.
  • Right-click on the Screenshots folder, select Properties, click the Location tab, and click Move to choose a new location for your screenshots.
  • Click Select Folder, choose a location, and click Apply, then confirm the change and choose whether to move existing screenshots.
  • Customising the folder in this way makes for a more streamlined workflow, reduces the number of clicks required, and makes organising screenshots for different projects easier.
  • It also keeps the Pictures folder clutter-free, and can save space on PC internal storage by using an external drive.
