John,
     this does not match with my experience. If you specify the filename radix, complete
with the path, and the interval in seconds (by choosing Capture, then Setup), Argo duly
respects what you specified. I have done many screen captures and I have never observed
the behaviour you mention.
The only caveat is that you must not cover the Argo window with another, otherwise this
foreground window will be captured instead. This seems to be unavoidable.
I asked a Windows guru, and this was the answer :
