Hi:
Is there a way to determine the location of directory where the screenshots are stored (which may not be the default one). Does windows monitor it by something like a system variable?

As The Question said, The location of directory where the screenshots are stored resides in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders.
Perhaps The folloing steps can also find the location.
Go to C:\Users\your_name\Pictures\Screenshots, where “your_name” is the name of your user account.
Right-click on Screenshots to open a contextual menu and choose Properties.
Access the Location tab which shows the location.
I tried on two computers and did not find the item related to screenshots in that specific folder. I am not sure if this is originally built in system, would you have a check on yours?
Have you moved your default location of directory where the screenshots are stored? Perhaps Doing this can generate the the item {B7BEDE81-DF94-4682-A7D8-57A52620B86F} related to screenshots.
Anyway Create the item {B7BEDE81-DF94-4682-A7D8-57A52620B86F} or There it is And then setting the item value will work.
That is exactly the case though I aimed to get the variable keeping track of screenshots folder wherever it was stored. Now I can resolve it by checking whether the folder has been moved (a bit ugly).
