It doesnt go to a directy. It copies the screen you paste it to your fav. image program (Example. MSPaint)

doodoo, as Dove stated it really does not go into a directory exactly. what happens is that upon completion of the pressing of the print screen key, the image of your screen is stored in RAM or your "primary storage" and then you can place "paste" this image into a graphics viewer as Dove has also stated. Remember that RAM is "volatile" and therefore when you reboot the image will be lost unless you have saved it.

It's placed in Windows Clipboard for you to paste to another application. You can save the copied file through the Windows clipboard. The file will have a .clp extension. Each time you copy, the previous copied image or text will be replaced by the next since it's temporarely saved in the clipboard through memory usage...
