Vista Tutorial - Pictures in folders

for my casio folder I cannot see the jpgs unless I click on "compatibility
files". So if I want to insert a picture from the folder in an Outlook email
I must first copy the jpg to the "Pictures" folder. When I had XP this was
not necessary. Any suggestions?? It's a lot of extra work in Vista to do
what I use to do. So far Vista is not high oin my list.

That's because you, or a Casio program is trying to store files in Vista
using the XP file structure.
Vista has a different structure and won't allow files to be stored in
certain locations, and will store them elsewhere, as you are finding out.
Do not try to use the old XP standard "My" folders, either.

Thanks - I have a better understanding, however how can I upload pictures
using Outlook as the "Virtual Store" cannot be located when using Outlook and
you cannot click on compatiility files using outlook.

Thanks

Can you use your Casio program, in its preferences/options, to change the
default location it uses for your photo folder to, say, C:\Users\(Your
Name)\Pictures? In that folder they won't be virtualized, and your other
programs should have no problem finding them there also.

Great. Too, you've just made Windows Photo Gallery (Start Menu>All
Programs) very happy. If you open that program, it has options for
importing pictures from your camera, as well (click on File > Options, in
the menu). Yes, the path to the virtualized folder is normally hidden,
making a sub-folder of the C:\Program Files folder a not-so-good choice for
saved Documents, Pictures, Music, etc., and causing other programs, not
involved in putting those kinds of files there, not to find them.

Thanks - Perhaps once I get accustomed to Vista and learn all the changes I
will appreciate it.

Again thanks for the advice.
