ok so i have my Guild Wars 2 folder in my (D:) folder on my computer ,but i have my OS in (C:), before i bought my new SSD which i made to folder (D:) i had Guild Wars 2 in my (C:) folder, i copied the GW2 folder and put on my new SSD (which happened right before BWE3) after that all my screenshots has been going in to (C:) folder where it creates a new Guild Wars 2 folder, if i delete it and take new screenshots it will just appear a new Guild Wars 2 folder in (C:) again, it will only contain the folder named “Screens” and it will only have my screenshots in it, it doesnt appear in the (D:) folder,where my Guild Wars 2 game actually is.

It always puts your Screens to your “My Documents” Folder. You need to change this path in Windows 7.

Yeah, it appears we can’t change the folder GW2 saves its screenshots to. Here is the guide I used to change my paths on my SSD.

Or you could, as a workaround, replace the Screens folder with a symbolic link via (an elevated) command prompt window, like I did:

C:\Users\Soulweaver\Documents\Guild Wars 2>mklink /d Screens Z:\xampp\htdocs\gw2s
symbolic link created for Screens <<===>> Z:\xampp\htdocs\gw2s

After doing so, all software should transparently display the Screens folder as if it was in Documents/Guild Wars 2 even if it exists logically in another place.

A setting for the default screenshot folder would obviously be preferred, though :p

Edit: the “pre” tag doesn’t seem to use a monospace font. Anyway, the top line there is the command I used and the second line is what it outputs if it was successful.
