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.
- Right-click on a blank space on your Desktop
- Select ‘Properties’ from the little context menu that appears.
You will see a window like this one:

- Select the ‘Screen Saver’ tab at the top. The window will change to look more like this one:

- In the drop-down box under ‘Screen saver’, select ‘My Pictures Slideshow’.
Press the ‘Settings’ button just to the right of that drop-down. A window will pop up that looks like this:

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