Can't open screenshots

I didn't know where to post this, and it didn't seem off-topic either, so I posted it here.

Anyways, i can't get the screenshots folder to show up in the usual windows explorer, just when I browse with MPQ editor, and I can't copy the files anywhere else either, because windows can't find the folder so it'll just say that it can't find the file when I try to paste it.


Is there any way to fix this?

Note: I already have a program that can open up (and even export) TGA files, I just need to get them there.

EDIT:
The actual problem here is that I can't view some files and folders related to WC3 in the windows file explorer. I can do so in MPQ editor, but I can't open it in any other program that i know of.

That's weird, what operating system are you using? For me, the screenshots are easily accessible in the Screenshots subfolder of my main WC3 folder.

I'm using windows 8. It's basically windows 7 with some fancy extras.

Btw, I'll try to copy/paste it entirely using the MPQ editor, and see how that works out.

EDIT:
Well, it didn't work as I can't see the file in the windows explorer or open it in a program even when it is in a folder that both the file explorer and the picture editing program can read. Tho, there is one other way that I may be able to get the picture. I'll try that now.

EDIT 2:
Didn't work either. The theory was that I could copy/paste the file via a LAN network to another computer, and then copy/paste it back to mine. (I have sent a WC3 object data file this way, and it appeared in the file explorer on the other computer, so I thought is could fix this too) It could have worked, but this time I couldn't get into the other computer's file system because of some security block i couldn't find, both ways. So unless I figure out how I got it right the last time I need another solution.
