By default, screenshots (cmd⌘ + shift⇧ + 3) are saved on your desktop along with the date and time they were taken. It’s possible to to remove the date and time stamp from the file names of screenshots, use the following command in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture “include-date” 0; killall SystemUIServer

Revert to the default setting with the following command

defaults write com.apple.screencapture “include-date” 1; killall SystemUIServer
