More Windows Tech Preview: Reset Screenshots Counter

I do a lot of screenshots, so here's how to reset the counter for them to start it from one again....


Use Windows Key + R to bring up the 'Run' window, in which type Regedit.exe and when Registry Editor opens, navigate (in the left column) to the following:-
H-Key Current User-Software-Microsoft-Windows-Current Version-Explorer.....


At Explorer, look in the right-hand pane for ScreenshotIndex, and right-click on that word to bring up a little dropdown, on which the first item is Modify. Click on that word, to bring up another little window....



This lets you edit the Dword value for ScreenshotIndex, and here you change the number in the little box to 01 and this will reset the counter to begin at one. You then click OK, and close that little window. The value shown after the line for ScreenshotIndex in the right-hand pane will now show the number 1. You can close Registry Editor, because you're finished. That's all there is to it. Your next screenshot will be numbered as one. Just make sure you deleted all the old ones before you reset the counter.
