Windows 10: How to change the save location for Win + Shift + S

When I take a screenshot, I want it to be saved on my clipboard but also within my screenshots folder on the pictures tab. Is there a way to make this possible so I can change the save location?

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
