How to Modify Snow Leopard for a Screenshot Location
- 1). Click "Applications," then "Utilities," then "Terminal."
- 2). Type the following code into the command line:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture - 3). Press the space bar, then type the path to your preferred screenshot location. For example, if you want to save it inside a folder called "Screens" on your desktop, and your username is "Bob," then this would be your path:
/Users/Bob/Desktop/Screens
The full example would be:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture /Users/Bob/Desktop/Screens - 4). Press "Enter." Restart your Mac and the screenshots will be stored in the new folder.
