Paste a screenshot in windows explorer

After I posted this request to the DonationCoder netizens, the world was given a handy piece of software by c.gingerich that fits the bill nicely. (The project's page is also at http://paf.pen.io/, and now costs money, but there are old free versions about.)

Paste As File. Right click on the desktop or on the background of a Windows explorer window and select Past As File. You can then save the clipboard to a file based on the contents. Either a text file or an image in PNG or JPG format. You can download it from my website if you are interested. It's free.

I just found https://github.com/EslaMx7/PasteIntoFiles This "PasteIntoFiles" freeware on GitHub adds a shortcut to the Windows Explorer context-menu that opens a tiny tool with the current folder pre-selected, and a "Save" button. It works with Windows 10.
