Re-Route Screenshots Folder

Hey guys, I was wondering if it was possible to make your GW screenshots save into your "My Documents" Folder in a Screens folder rather then in "C:/Program Files/Guild Wars/Screens"

I would think this is much handier then going through all that to get the screens. I've done this ever since i started playing back in March/2006 and I was just wondering if there was a way to save screens into My "Documents/Screenshots" Folder, I've seen people doing this, they claim it works on Vista only, I have XP, and will probably skip Vista for "Windows 7" when that comes out because i have my reasons to, but this is about screen shots.

Also, if there is an un-official/EULA-breaking way to do it... I don't want anything to do with that at all. I'm looking for something official/legal that Anet/NCsoft says is ok and is fine and does not modify the client because that is obviously against the EULA. There's gotta be an option somewhere that I'm missing....

Just create a short cut to the folder on your desktop.

Right click on screens folder, select properties then sharing, then share the folder, and give it a name. Right click on taskbar then select start menu, customize, then advanced and display My Computer as menu. Right click on My Computer in Start Menu and select Map network drive, then select a drive letter and browse for the folder you just shared. After that you can access it from Start menu>My Computer>shared drive name.

Hmm.. well i guess i'll just shortcut it then.

Thanks for the responses though!

If you are dead set on getting those screenshots into a custom folder, you could always write some sort of batch file or something to copy/move any screens you take from the default screens folder to a folder you want. One of those directory synchronizing programs (that allows moving of files rather than simply synchronizing) would do the trick as well.

I agree with what others say here. There's really no need for that kind of thing. A shortcut is probably the easiest and best way to keep the default screenshots folder handy, if that's your main objective.

If you are using NTFS you could create a "Hard Link" from original screenshot folder to some other folder on same drive to simulate this to some point. Not that I would advise it...

Shortcut would be the most efficent way of doing it.

Install Vista. Vista puts your screenshots and templates into a Guild Wars folder in Documents instead of Program Files.

^wandered why that happened lol
