When I use the Snipping Tool and want to save the snip, the tool wants to put the saved file in the Pictures library. Is there any way I can change that default to another folder or even another drive?

Thank you.

I don't use it, but I believe if you select save as, as an option, and select your default location, from then on it will always save there.

    Use several different computers during a day, so specs are irrelevant.
Hello JJG,

Yep, it's as Dave posted above. Click on File -> Save As to save where you like. :)
