CoX folder for Screen Shots from a PC

Question: I took some screen shots this weekend and normally when you do so you have to save each pic individually. I read somewhere in one of these forums that there is a folder for CoX that will capture all "print screen" images for you automatically.

So, what I need to know is where this folder might be located on a PC? What might this folder name be called?
Is there something I need to do on the game side such as check something in the menu set-up for a particular option that will capture screen shots?
And finally, what format does it save it as? I assume .jpg files for easy image transferring. Thanks in advance to all those that reply.

You might kick yourself

Inside the folder for the copy of the game you were using is a "screenshots" folder.

Address should be something like this:

C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\screenshots

Edit: forgot to add Vista may put them somewhere different.

If the OS is 64-bit and you installed it in the default location the folder would be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\screenshots

WONDERFUL!!! Found it. To my surprise, the screen shots will automatically remove the trays, chat window and other clutter on the screen when I was doing it myself.....lol. Thanks to all who replied!

If you ever need the GUI in there :

/screenshotgui 0 or 1 (0 is default, no GUI; 1 shows the GUI)

or in the keymapping section of the Options window you can set a button to ScreenshotGUI (I use Shift+my screencap button)

You can have that clutter appear by typing /screenshotui 1. You turn the HUD off again with /screenshotui 0. The flag resets to 0 each time you log in.
