Redirecting where screen shots are stored

Normally, when you make a screen shot using the built in FSX feature (V button), the shots are place in "Libraries...>>>>...Pictures...>>>>...Flight Simulator X Files" on the C: drive. How can I redirect my screen shots to go to my D: drive? I'm using Windows 7.

In win7 I'm using the 'snipping tool' that is included. Works very nice.

Yes Bernt, but you have 9-12 hour enroute times enabling you to have figured out there was a "snipping tool", and then how to use it. lol.

Get a copy of Gadwin Screen Capture and you can store your shots wherever you want them. It will number each shot in sequence, store them in a choice of formats ( BMP, JPEG etc) and will even resize them automatically if you wish. You also have the option of ignoring your mouse cursor which is good for game screenshots.

I've been using it for years.

or FSScreen, 1 file, just plop it in the folder you want your shots stored, run it, then run fsx, the press print screen, simples! :)
 
You can also (in XP, don't know about W7) track down the screenshot folder in explorer, right click and send an icon for the folder to your desktop. Then it's just a double click to access your V shots thereafter.
