! Parameter !! Description
|-
| ''Category name'' || By default, images with this template will be sorted into [[:Category:Screenshots of Windows software]]. Optionally, the first unnamed parameter can be a category name, so that a screenshot may be sorted into another category. For example:

<tt><nowiki>{{Non-free Microsoft screenshot|Screenshots of Mac software}}</nowiki></tt>

will place the image into [[:Category:Screenshots of Mac software]].

As of this writing (7 January 2010), no other suitable category exists. However, other categories might be created in the future.
|-
| '''image has rationale''' || If it is set to <tt>'''yes'''</tt>, the notice box in the middle of the template, which reminds the uploader to provide a fair-use rationale, is removed.
