Hello. I know which keyboard combination to use to capture gameplay screenshots, but my DOSbox Readme talks about a "screenshot folder." for screenshot captures - how do I create this and where do I put it? Is it a windows XP folder, or what?

Very puzzled

Am running DOSbox 0.73 in a Dell Inspiron netbook under Windows XP.

Thanks in advance.

Mine's in C:\software\DOSBox-0.73\capture, "software" being the "Program files". Dosbox creates it automatically and puts screenshots, movies, sounds etc there.

edit: I just noticed the "Capture folder" item under the dosbox entry in the Start menu. Click on it and it takes you to the proper place (looks like it's nowdays in c:\users\Local Settings\Application Data\Dosbox\capture).

There is a link in the start menu entry of DOSBox.

Nope - I don't have this in my start menu at all.

EDIT - found it. Also found the Emergency Room (DOS) gameplay screenshots I took yesterday while gaming in the Jefferson Hospital cafeteria yesterday - thanks!

It was in my "Start > All Programs" menu after I highlighted DOSbox.
