Hi all,

When I hit the print-screen key a screenshot is saved in a Screenshot folder in my one drive. Just how I like it.

But when I used the snipping-tool the screenshot is saved in a Screenshot folder on my desktop. Even when I removed that folder it creates a new one when using the snipping-tool.

How do I tell the snipping-tool where to save the screenshot ? I did not find any such option in the settings.

Thanks

Good to know. Wasn't sure if it would . Welcome.
Yeah, I guess I posted the screen to show that I missed a few steps.
Added the steps in case someone else needs them.
