Set Your Screen Saver to your World of Warcraft Screenshots

no comment

Pressing the ‘Print Screen’ key while playing World of Warcraft saves a picture of whatever is on screen. This is a great way to memorialize great moments of game-play.

Of course, if you’re like me, you’re never really going to see these pictures again. So set your Windows screen-saver to display them using the following instructions.

  1. Right-click on a blank space on your Desktop
  2. Select ‘Properties’ from the little context menu that appears. You will see a window like this one: Display Properties
  3. Select the ‘Screen Saver’ tab at the top. The window will change to look more like this one: Screen Saver Tab
  4. In the drop-down box under ‘Screen saver’, select ‘My Pictures Slideshow’.
  5. Press the ‘Settings’ button just to the right of that drop-down. A window will pop up that looks like this: My Pictures Screen Saver Options Window

  6. In the ‘My Pictures Screen Saver Options’ window, Set ‘User Pictures in this folder’ to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Screenshots

  7. If you want to be able to read your conversations, be sure to set the following:

    • ‘How big should pictures be?’ to Largest
    • Check the box next to ‘Stretch small pictures’
    • Check the box next to ‘Allow scrolling through pictures with the keyboard’

Enjoy! - Edward
