Am I searching incorrectly to find where Snip & Sketch was save to? I require this for attaching contents in an email or sending for a request asked for. B

Most of the icons on the bar appear dimmer until there's fresh data but may still be available such as the floppy disk icon meaning any storage device or press Ctrl+S for Save as.

You can then, for example, open a text editor or Email and click and paste or use Ctr v. It also has the shortcut which you can set upas resident, to use the PrtScr key to bring up a click and open tab for rectangles ..etc. It works!

Right, memory or RAM as it's known is volatile, holds data in use only until the computer loses power or is rebooted/restarted. Anything needing saving has to be put in a file before that happens.

I delete 99% of them.....the ones I can and don't need/use. just give me the full blown software please. Thank you! I feel better now.

Joined Sep 26, 2017 Messages 3,607 Reaction score 622 There's more 'features' or 'controls' added to Snip and Sketch that should be helpful but since my chemo I don't have steady-enough use of my hands/fingers to use some of them properly. R

He requested a screenshot be sent to him. A screen shot was taken, well thought I had, unfortunately unable to find this Snip & sketch, as I can't find clipboard for a start. I am lost on this one.

Historically it seems to be the same as started with Microsoft Office a few versions ago in its increase in the number of clips and the ability to Select random bits of text in a document.

Maybe I'm just too old school to change. LOL!

Most of the options are exactly the same as in the new tool. It offers, as does the new one, to save before closing. Bass, without changing anything, I found that, by default, it " saves as" to here This Pc-Local disk- Users - Username - Pictures You can decide that with the little R
