I haven't used my computer for quite some time and can't remember how to find my folder of pictures that I downloaded.

Well .. if its been as long as you say they must have been scribed on stone tablets and wouldn't display very well with modern software

tell us where you're from, the name of your first grade teacher and the color of your first bicycle ... so that we may draw conclusions on your thought process and where you would have placed the folder .. I'll venture a guess, though, that it's on your C: drive


I really, really hope this isn't an april fools joke .. I put alot of effort into my aid

If you remember the name of the folder, you might try searching for it. Open any Windows Explorer folder and click the Search icon..

How do we know that his computer even has a hard disk? He may have stored his images on reel-to-reel tape and left the spool with the images in the bathroom under the sink next to the slightly moldy "emergency" toilet paper which is only single-ply and thus normaly shunned by the bathroom-using public. Huh? He's left us _nothing_ to go on!!!1111``~

Un-organization is a costly lesson indeed.

Reminds me of when I had about 700 files, most unnamed and thrown randomly into one folder.. Then I decided to clean up and organize, and I now have 2248 files, collected over many years, all organized into 75 folders and subfolders (now I can find everything as almost all are labeled). I just have a hard time deleting anything... :(

LOL @ Keith & Geri... *shakes head... some people amaze me... words fail me.. LOL

jksecy - please check your PMs. :)

How do you own a computer and not know how to find a folder that you created? LOL!

Oh… I can answer that one for you… quite easily… apart from the adventures of the idiot art director, there's the story of a family friend of ours. My dad gave her one of his old computers, and shipped it down to her in Florida. Being the obsessive compulsive freak that he is, he carefully labelled everything. "Plug A" "Port A", etc.

A week later, he gets a phone call "Ok, I got everything set up, but the footpedal doesn't work". Wait for it… take a moment… that's right… it was the mouse. Can you breathe now, or are you gasping for breath around your giggles down there on the floor?

But the cup holder did work? .. they usually get broken during shipping

Footpedal? What did he expect the computer to do?? Sew things, or perhaps drive him to work??!?

lol. It was pre-cupholders

and I have no clue what she thought it was going to do for her. I think i'm afraid to ask. lol

Click the Start button, click on search and search for pictures, music or video then choose pictures. You should be awarded with all the jpeg image files and thier locations. Just pass your mouse pointer over the image to reveal the location of each image.

sounds like my mother... lol.. today i set up her new dvd player.. she asked what button did she press to rewind the dvd... LOL...

Still trying to catch my breath ove rthe foot pedal deal! LMAO! Btw Jac, my wife asked me the same thing when we got our first dvd player. LOL!

I think if you put a trackball under your desk you could get quite adept at it ... leaves your hands free to drink coffee

now thats a good idea.. massages and relaxes your feet as you work the computer... lol

Great for stress relief too .....LOL

It only works if you have bare feet though. It should be no problem for Jac, though. She's always barefoot anyway! LOL!

=0 LOL... you been spying on me again?? lol...

*gasp* Larry's been doing what ??!!!!

I'm telling your wife Larry !

LMAO! No, no, nothing like that! I just have ways of finding these things out. LOL!

This might help in conjunction with Mayne's suggestions. Some further information on "how to search for files."

Left-click with your mouse on this ---> link <--- and you will be taken to a Microsoft page where it explains in more detail the 'how to's.' Good luck. :o)

That's it Les, interject a note of sanity here ...

BTW, where'd you find it ? Get it from your mom, maybe ?

I doubt the person who started this will read it though, he hasn't been back since he posted it.

*nudge nudge* she

Well since good ol' Joanne isn't around to take our advice, I assume we can take this thread anywhere we want, eh ?

"To infinity.....and beyond !! "

Geez! I hope she didn't get upset with us..It was all in fun..=P
*WARNING* Possible thread hijacking attempt in progress!! Somebody alert security!!..=O

LOL@ Larry ....uhh Curly ....uh Razorjack.....uh RJ .....

I'm so confused !

Yes?... Did someone call for security? *flashes plastic badge*

Now if everyone will just calm down and relax... I'm sure we can get this situation completely under control. Completely.

Hi .. I'm from the government and I'm here to help
