Moving My Pictures

Hi Folks I'm always SO glad to find you guys here :-))) I'm still using and loving Me and have had no problems with the OS for ages but have just reinstalled it after yet another C drive failure--my third in two and a half years :-( Maxtors and Samsungs) I've been reinstalling my essential programs and helpers for a week now but before I reup and setup my favorite image handler (PhotoImpact) I thought I'd ask if anyone has ever tried moving My Pictures out of My Documents (where it's buried!) and what the results might have been. I notice that TweakUI offers the option to move it but I'm reluctant to try that without knowing if the default folder-view of …

My Pictures
by Guest Ed Meza- 10 replies
- 577 views
Well, I did it again! I had so many pictures that I opened different folders to identify the places, people, etc. This worked well. However, by mistake *I deleted the My Pictures folder*, which only had a dozen pics. Question is: How do I get the My Pictures folder back where it was? that is: Start|My Documents|My Pictures. I have tried System Restore and have also run the Restoration program. Neither of them worked, since the folder was deleted. Is there a command thru Start|Run to get back the My Pictures Folder (with the camera icon on the envelope)? Or any other way to place that folder back where is supposed to be? Does it really make a difference not to…

When I try to start up my computer, I get the Dell Logo but after that all I get is the message 'Invalid system disk replace the disk and then press any key. I'm not able to start the computer in the 'Safe' mode or restore it. I've put in the ME Operating CD but that hasn't done any good. There's no CDs in either drive and the floppy drive is empty as well. Does anybody know how to start the computer up? I could really use the help. thanks. -- kk

I was given a second hand computer by a local college. Before gifting, they cleared the hard drive and installed Win98 on the laptop. The laptop originally ran ME on it (the original product key and info is posted on the computer), can I use a ME upgrade disk and the original product key to get this computer back to ME? Is there things I should do prior to install?

I would like to find a new driver (free, I hope) that I could use. I would appreciate any help I can get? Thanks

Hi all.. I have been using Windows ME for about 4 years now without a problem and like it alot.. but I'd like to use a different browser besides Internet Explorer. I seem to get lots of error msgs on it now.. and more recently an "Operation Aborted" message, even during something simple like going to Google.

Someone told me Opera, then someone told me FireFox, but I dont want to start installing all kinds of stuff then have problems later on or conflicts with other programs. I also saw one called "Avant", I've never heard of it before and was wondering also if anyone knew anything about it? T…

Programs Folder
by Guest Ed Meza- 2 replies
- 465 views
When pointing to Start | Programs , most all the folders like Accessories, Avast, CCleaner, etc. have a yellow folder *blocked* by a square that appears to have a diagram on it. When displaying Folder Options, I see this diagram on the General Tab and *Use windows classic folders* is checked. I don't know what changed the appearance of these folders. There has to be a way to get such programs folders displayed just as *solid-yellow color folders*. I have tried just about everything and have not been successful to change them. Would appreciate any help. Thanks, Ed
