Where is the folder of pictures where I took for the screenshot of start view on Windows 8 after I pressed the PrintScrn | Sysrq button on my keyboard.
Or is this key functional for the Start view?

It takes and saves the screenshot. It places the saved screenshot into your pictures folder as a PNG.

I finally found the solution!

Basically the new file containing the images is imageres.dll. Opening it with ResourceHacker reveals all the wallpapers in the PNG section.
The backgrounds begin with Resource 10000. For each pattern(and some colors?) there are 5 images each.
- 10000 - Small preview in settings
- 10001 - Background for low resolution devices
- 10002 - Background for mid resolution devices
- 10003 - Background for high resolution devices
- 10004 - Large preview in settings
For example exporting 10003 creates a 3000x800px PNG:

Press Win + PrtScr and the screenshot will be saved as a .png to your Pictures Library under the Screenshot directory.
Another way to capture your screen is to use PrtScr, which copies the screenshot to your keyboard. Alt + PrtScr does the same thing, but only captures the current window, which is really useful!
However, my favorite way to capture screenshots is Steps Recorder.
Once you start recording, it will record every step you take, whether that be a mouse click or a key press. Once you're done hit Stop Record and it'll give you a collection of photos documenting your steps.
