F5 Quick Save and Screenshot

Post » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:59 pm

Hello Folks,

This is my first post. Please forgive me if I am doing anything wrong.

Recently I was going through my C drive to locate my Public Folder in order to start using it on my home network. IIn the Public Folder/Public Pictures I found a folder titled Screenshots. That folder had about 7 gigs of mainly Fallout 3, but also a few Skyrim screenshots. After a little experimentation I found that every time I did a F5 quick save a screenshot .bmp would be created in the Public Pictures folder. I have Googled this problem and searched these forums with no results. I have found information indicating that the F5 key is the default screenshot key in the Fallout 3 engine. If so why would they also make it the Quick Save Key? Fallout 3 will not let me change the Quick Save Key. Has anyone had this problem, or know of a solution. I don't really want to constantly be going to the Public Pictures folder to delete screenshots.

Thanks, Mox
