I would think to a file named "screen_capture.jpg" in the current
working directory. What that is for IDLE, I don't know. You can
determine what folder that is by running this in your Python shell:

from os import getcwd
print(getcwd())

Also, I would suggest using absolute file paths in the future, rather
than relative ones; e.g. "C:/Documents and Settings/Your
username/Desktop/screen_capture.jpg" rather than just
"screen_capture.jpg".

Cheers,
Chris
