Where are my sh4 screenshots?

Hmmm. If you are using Vista or Win7 they both have the same type of administration permissions needed to alter files on the OS drive (normally C:\) or at least in the OS own folders so, C:\Windows, C:\Program Files and so on. So while you take your shot in game, it tries to save but then gets told it hasn't got permission to put a file there so it simply doesn't.

The best thing to do is to install all your games outside of the OS protected file structure, I.e in its own folder, C:\Games\SH4 or even better on a different drive, D:\Games\etc.. where the permissions are not required.

If you'd rather avoid uninstalling/reinstalling you could try running SH4 with admin priveledges on (right click then select run as administrator) that may work. This is all of course assuming that this is the problem that's causing you to lose your snaps, hope it helps, otherwise good luck.
