Running on a Win7 system... Where the heck do the screen shots and save game files go?

Screenies: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Screenshot*.bmp
Saves: C:\Users\%UserName%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves\*.ess

Im on windows vista and I looked in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Screenshot*.bmp ..... but when I looked there was nothing there, even tho I know I have taken several screenshots. Where else would they be?? anyone know?

Steam folder > User Data > Your ID > 760 (was for me, not sure if this is the overall number for screens) >Remote > One of those long numbers (mine was 72850)> screen shots > and there is where all my screenshots are haha. not sure if there is a shorter way

Hmm looked there too in Steam > User Data> My Id> Remote > but there wasnt anything in the remote folder accept a shared config.vdf no long number folder and no screenshots. is there anyway I can just add a screenshot folder and tell the game to put them there?? if so how do I do that?

Ok I finally found where they put them, now my next question how do I use the screenshot manager? cause whenever I bring up my manager it doesnt show any of the screenies I took?

Which method are you using to take the screenshots? [f12] or [prt sc]?

I use print screen its the only one that works on my pc, and I found where my screenshots are on my pc, but when I go to the pic manager they dont show up, so im not sure what im missing.

Pic manager only works for screenshots taken with steam overlay, which is the F12 key.

If that's not working for you, have you disabled steam community or steam overlay for skyrim?

Like in a post above, steam screenshots are in really random folders located in your steam directory and can be a pain to find. The best way (when using f12) is open your screenshot manager for steam, click a screenshot, and click the button Open on Disc(or windows explorer, can't remember exactly what it says). This will open the folder where they are.
