I would like Lightshot to save screenshots to desktop, how do I do that?

Tutorials I found doesn't seem to touch on that.

At some point, I selected a folder to save a screenshot from Lightshot. Since then, all screens save there. I found that folder by Recent files view, but that tool doesn't allow me to change (or simply delete) Lightshot default saves folder - or I don't know how it allows me to do so.

When I delete found folder, Lightshot makes it again.

I tried reinstalling Lightshot, but it remembered the saves folder.

In Lightshot's website, it says that Ctrl+S hotkey saves the screenshot to the most recent folder.

To change it, do not use the hotkey for the first time. Instead, click on the Save button and save the screenshot to wherever you want. After that, all screenshots will be automatically saved to that folder with any hotkey.

I tested it and it works.

In case you cannot access the default screenshot folder to get your images (Windows 10 x64):

  1. Retake a screenshot
  2. Press save
  3. Instead of saving send all your screenshots 1 by 1 to desktop with right click > Send to> Desktop (Create shortcut)
  4. Open shortcuts 1 by 1 and save the images in your preferred folder.

Do not save in default folder (Windows 10 x64). Try a folder on your Desktop or anywhere else but the default path.
