Just press the Print Scrn button on your keyboard. It will automatically take a screenshot and save it in your Guild Wars installation folder, in the Screens subdirectory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Screens\gw001.jpg). --Dirigible 15:36, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Note: In Windows Vista screenshots will be located in the "C:\Users\<YourWindowsLoginName>\Documents\Guild Wars\Screens" directory. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:63.126.183.173 .

how do u view it though? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.79.23.67 .

Newer versions of Windows come with a JPEG viewer. You can also view screenshots in most web browsers. -- Gordon Ecker 23:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Is there any way to change the default destination folder? I'd like to get my screens in my pictures folder without having to manually move them every time. Jeree95 (talk) 13:21, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

An alternative is to create a shortcut to the Guild Wars screenshot folder in your My Pictures folder. --Silver Edge 06:55, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

What if you want the screenshots to save on a different hard drive to the one you have GW installed on... is there any way to do that? Mist Y (talk) 11:58, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Max wha?

what happens if u have 999 screenshots and you take one again? ~ SCobra 20:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

It does 1 of 2 things.

1. Overwrites your first few screenshots up until around 30 then says your folder is full.
2. Says your screenshot folder is full. — ク Eloc 貢 01:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Worth Mentioning?

Anyone think its worth mentioning that Guildwars changes your textures to the highest setting when you take a screenshot? I was trying to compare the highest settings and lowest settings via screenshots, and the textures were identical. So I turned the settings back to low and watched the screen when I hit the button, the textures visually changed to the high settings (the menu didnt change but you could physically see the change when it took the screenshot). I have a feeling this is also why screenshots take a second to take the picture, its switching textures to the highest settings, taking the picture, then changing them back. Anyone think this change of settings during a screenshot is worth mentioning in the article? --98.148.214.201 22:33, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm all for it. On the subject of graphic quality, why does the article suggest turning off shadows and post-processing effects? I agree that in some places the post fx are exaggerated, but many areas lose all their beauty without them (like the Charr area in EoTN)
