| | How do I restore my "Pictures" folder? I accidentally deleted my "Pictures" folder from my Personal folder. I tried to create a new folder and rename it to "Pictures" and even made a shortcut for it on my "Links" folder but when I go to my start menu, the "Pictures" link does not work. I've tried using TweakVI and TuneUp Utilities but non of them helped to restore it. I also tried copying the "Pictures" folder from the Guest account and that did not work either. The link on my start menu shows up but has no properties. No name, no size, no location. There is no desktop.ini file for my pictures folder either. I'm just completely lost right now. HELP! |

Go ahead and delete the folder you created, and use Option One at the top of this tutorial for a missing user folder. You will use the "shell:My Pictures" (no quotes) shell command.

| | Re: How do I restore my "Pictures" folder? Wow! I think I over worked this issue because I had read that page before. I think I was typing the Shell command wrong. I believe I typed shell:Pictures last time. O don't know why I did that but well your answer did the trick. Thank You! |
