My Pictures Folder

[Joy]

I'm not sure if this is the correct NewsGroup to ask this question ? ?

The default for the My Pictures folder is within the My Documents folder.
I was backing up MyDocs onto a CD and it told me there wasn't room
(apparently the My Pictures was too big). So I moved the My Pictures folder
to my Desktop and the CD backed up MyDocs OK. But now I still seem to have
a My Pictures folder in My Document, plus one on the Desktop, plus one that
seems to be located in C-Drive\Documents & Settings\My Name\My Documents\My
Pictures ! (And they don't all have the same pictures in them - some are
the same, but not all.) I need to condense all the My Pictures into one
folder, but I'm not sure how. TIA for any help with this.

My Pictures folder in My Document and C-Drive\Documents & Settings\My Name\My Documents\My

Pictures

is the same thing.

Select All (Edit menu) files in one on Desktop and drag to (or Copy or Cut on Edit menu then Paste in) the other folder. Shift + No = No To All if you get a confirmation dialog.

Thanks,David. Haven't had a chance to do that yet - have had a zillion
things going on today. One other question. When I moved the My Pictures
folder to Desktop in the first place (to make MyDocs smaller for backing
up), as I said, it seemed to also stay in MyDocs. If/when I have to move it
out of MyDocs again next time I back up, is there any way to make sure it
actually LEAVES MyDocs?

It should have moved it. If it was unable to complete the move you should have used Ctrl + Z (or Edit menu - Undo). You would have received a dialog.
