1. Create a new folder called screenies and put it wherever you like. /users/eric/screenies
2. Go into terminal, and paste defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /users/eric/screenies (replace /users/eric/screenies with your specified path)
3. Log out and log back in and wallah Winky Winky
