I want to make a program that uses screenshots. It's kind of like a webcam. Only, it just monitors the screen. It's for security reasons. Okay, here's what I want it to do. I want my program to take a screenshot every 15 minutes and save the picture to a folder. I don't want any screenshot overwriting another so I want the screenshot to have a different filename every time it saves. If anyone has any ideas on how I should begin doing this, I would appreciate it.

That looks like it could have some helpful code...

I dont know about the taking the screen shot part as of yet as I have not tried to make a program that does that but you could make it save the screen shot as the date and time this way you know which screen shot was taken when hence giving each file / image a different name. I will try later on to make it take screen shots and can post the coding if you would like ?

The unique file part is very simple, just use the time and date functions to build a filename string that includes the current date and time.
