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.

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?

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?

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?

(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.)

I did get the folder back but all the pictures (sample pictures were gone)
Just trying to get the double saving thing fixed. 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.
