- Move your screenshots folder to where you want to have your screenshots saved, and then delete the `screenshots` folder that's in your `.runelite` folder.
- Run Command Prompt as administrator and then run:

`mklink /J "%userprofile%\.runelite\screenshots" "path\to\new\folder"`

If you make this ``` it'll have a copy and paste option probably. Might also be nice to indent it if it's part of the list, but idk if that's possible with ```

since youre providing a mv command for mac/linux, you should provide the equivalent for windows with move here, then the above section isnt really required anymore

In trying to do so on Windows, I'm actually running into a file permissions error, even with cmd running as administrator. I think it's probably easier for the average end user just to move the files manually rather than having them fiddle with file permissions.

I'm open to still changing this, but I think leaving it as I have it now is probably the most straightforward way of doing it for the typical user.
