Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone! I was hoping to find an option or something to change the destination folder of my screenshots. I’m reinstalling my windows frequently and i always lose my Guild Wars 2 screenshots. Anyone knows any tips on how do i change that?

I am not sure you can. But I often move mine out of that folder, into another, because I fill it up. Lol.

Yes, I do the same but i was hoping there is a better method. I remember there was an option in Closed Beta. Oh well, guess i will just move them too. Thanks for the tip!

Assuming, Windows Vista or higher:

Open your screenshot folder, it’s located in “Documents/Guild Wars 2/Screens/”. Cut and paste (move) the “Screens” folder to a new location of your choosing. The original Screens folder in the Guild Wars 2 folder should be gone after doing this.

Copy down the path of both folder locations, you’ll need this later. Example:

Old: C:\Users\You\Documents\Guild Wars 2\Screens
New: C:\Guild Wars 2\Screens

Open the command prompt as an administrator. Type cmd in the start menu search, right click cmd.exe and select run as administrator.

In the command prompt, type the following command, substituting your folder locations (right click the command window to paste):

mklink /J “C:\Users\You\Documents\Guild Wars 2\Screens” “C:\Guild Wars 2\Screens”

Thanks alot! This was very helpful

If you reinstall windows without formatting the hard drive your old screenshots will be in the following folder:

C:\windows.old\Users\<profilename>\Documents\Guild Wars 2

How about OSX? I changed my screenshot key to PrtScr (yup, got a Windows Keyboard I can be merciless to, use Windows key instead of the CMD key). Been digging but would rather hear it from a gamer playing Guild Wars 2. Anything in specific?

You should be able to do the same thing using the ln command.
