Hi,
I have been trying to access my screenshots folder in Windows 7 RC. I have looked in the World of Warcraft "Screenshots" folder, the location given for screenshots in Vista, and my "Documents" folder to no avail. Searching the forums didn't produce any answers so now I am here. I need to see mah screenshots! Please help!
Thanks!

I have to admit that I am not too knowledgeable on the workings of Windows 7 at this time, Darkfellon, but I would try looking in the following folder: C:\users\*your user name*\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Screenshots. Also, keep in mind that you may have to turn on the ability to view hidden files as the AppData folder may be hidden.

To do so simply:
    Click the Start/Window button, select Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization, Folder Options.
    Next click on the View tab, under the Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and click OK to finish.

Q u o t e:
Thanks for the reply Auryk. Yes, I followed the breadcrumb of links to the folder destination that you provided like in Vista. However, once I get to the VirtualStore folder, it is empty. I wonder if the screenshot data is not being saved?

Anyone else using Windows 7 RC have any success viewing their screenshots?


Darkfellon, did you turn the ability to view hidden files on? Just wanted to make sure that step was not overlooked. :0)
