Guest Shaider Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Hi! I would just like to ask if there is a directory in Windows Xp SP2 where in print screens are automatically saved, or I still have to open an image viewing/editing software to save it manually?

Print Screen goes directly to Windows RAM memory (clipboard) first, unless you install some type of third party PS tool. You must open some time of image aware application. Word can view this image.

The print screen key only copies the screen to the clipboard. You have to then paste to some application, like word, mspaint, photoshop, etc. There are tons of 3rd party screen capture programs that handle the printscreen key much better. I use HardCopy Pro, it allows you to immediately drag a rectangle area of the screen to capture rather than the entire screen. I know of others that capture then let you crop. Google for 'print screen' for suggestions. Some are even free.

I can't answer your specific question, but this freeware tool uses the Print Screen button. You can crop the screen so you just get what you want, and Save sends the screen shots to a user designated folder you create. It is so much easier and takes only a few seconds to take and save the shot. PrintKey: http://www.freewareweb.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?ID=292 -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA

In addition to the others posting their favorite program for screen capture, I will give you mine and it is http://www.wisdom-soft.com/sh/sh_free.htm Screen Hunter 5.0 free which is a free program, easily configured to either capture to an auto-incrementing file where you name the root filename or to the clipboard or both. It allows automatic capture of the full monitor, the active window or the user selectable (with mouse) area. Saves the images in either .gif, .jpg. or .bmp formats in the location you specify. I am not affiliated with the company in any way other than a free user.

Print screen, by default, goes to memory. Then you have to paste in a graphics app to view/edit the image. I use Irfanview.
