Open Paint application, press ctrl+V to paste your current screenshot there and save it.

When I do that - I get a screenshot of my screen without warcraft runing. Like the warcraft window is transparent or something...
I need to go to windowed mode in order to get some proper screenshots.
Any solution to that?

They are created in your Screenshots folder inside the warcraft director, but in .tga file. You can use Image converter to JPG for example.

No I think it has something to do with the Windows 7 System Protection which makes a folder look empty but it's not
any solution for that?

Did you check the properties of that folder?
Edit: maybe the files are hidden? You can show hidden files.

You can try these:
1. Go Tools > Folder Options and check Show hidden files, folders and drives in your Screenshots folder (this is if you are running Windows).
2. If that doesn't work, search your computer for "WC3ScrnShot". Maybe they are in a different directory, and that will pinpoint you the directory.
3. If neither works, then you can use the program Lightshot to take screenshots. It's very useful and easy to use, you can even screenshot selected areas of screen with it, and it doesn't save the screenshots in .tga format, so you can use them immediately without converting.

Make sure that your user account has full control permission over the Warcraft III folder. It may not be able to make the screen shot files if it does not.

I am also in a situation where I cannot take pictures in the game but instead take a screenshot of the desktop, can you share your solution?

This thread is nearly 5 years old...
Try running Warcraft III in exclusive fullscreen mode rather than windowed mode. You can also try using third party screenshot tools like the snip tool that is standard with Windows 10 (windows key + shift + S for area of screen). Screenshots with print screen should be saved to the screenshots folder in the Warcraft III documents folder.
