| | Deleted File and double saving I had to reformat my hard drive and lost the picture folder and search can no find it on the hard drive. Is there a way to redown or find it. Also when I save a document in my documents it saves there and in my owner folder in documents. Is there any way to get it to just save to documents. |

| | Re: Deleted File and double saving If you don't have a Pictures folder, then, in the Start Search box of the Start Menu, type "shell:my pictures" (without quotes), and press Enter on your keyboard. If you have created a folder using New > Folder and named it Pictures, under C:\Users\(Your Name\ , then delete that first (don't move it, or rename it). Where is your Documents folder located? Or, at least, what is the path of the Documents folder you are saving to?

| | Re: Deleted File and double saving Are you typing this exactly (you could Copy and Paste it): shell:my pictures Note the where the space is. When you click on Documents in the Start Menu, what is the path (location) shown in the Address box of Windows Explorer? Is it C:\Users\(Your Name)\Documents?

| | Re: Deleted File and double saving Okay. Apparently the registry has information concerning your Pictures folder that says it's path (location) is on a drive that is no longer connected to your computer. Did you at one time move your Pictures folder to a different partition or drive, one that you no longer have set up on your computer?

| | Re: Deleted File and double saving (I'm having Network problems at the moment, so things are a little slow. I posted a reply, but then it said it's no longer on the server, so this may show up twice. Dunno.) Okay. Apparently the registry has information concerning your Pictures folder that says it's path (location) is on a drive that is no longer connected to your computer. Did you at one time move your Pictures folder to a different partition or drive, one that you no longer have set up on your computer?

It is so wired did not do that until I had to reformat. Buy the way thanks for all your help, this vista program takes some getting use to.
