OK, it does work. It is just I couldn't find the screenshots in my pictures folder but I found them in a dropbox folder. I must have set it top work that way awhile ago and forgot about it. All is well.

Please, include this into a readme, the game guide, or let WW2GameOptions.exe turn it on upon request.

If you want a screenshot in Windows 10 use print screen. It has nothing to do with the game. It’s part of Windows.

I have Windows XP and do use PrintScreen to make screenshots, but they come out with terribly distorted colors without the EnablePrintScreen registry setting. It is as pertinent to the game as the recommendation to use the native LCD resolution and therefore worth mention in the documentation.

Window 10 has a little ap called 'snipping tool'. It works for me.

Alternatively, Ctrl-PrtScn and paste to paint.

There is a free screenshot software, named Greenshot (first result in google search), that I've been introduced to when I was working as a software tester a long time ago. I still use it for its precision. In its default settings, hitting PrtScr (default key but you can change it if you prefer) will freeze the screen at that point and a pointer will appear for you to select the area like windows snipping tool. Some (but not all of them) advantages over snipping tools are:
1. ability to put that capture straight to an inbuilt editor to draw and type on it.
2. you can capture full screen with Ctrl + PrtScr (by default)
3. you can capture only active window with Alt + PrtScr
4 it can remember the last region you capture so you can repeat capture of that area by Shift + PrtScr
5. And you can put a filename pattern formula so that you screenshots are saved automatically with file names that will make sense to you.

And many more other options. And it works with WinSPWW2 without any issue. Just in case someone was looking for a little more convenience in their screen captures.

I do all of my screenshots by pressing PrtScn on my MS keyboard then start up Paint Shop Pro ( my goto editor for everything I do graphically ) and then press "Paste as New Image" and it gives me a perfect copy of my screen no matter if I have the game running or not.

I use Greenshot exclusively for all my screen shots.
