I created a directory on my laptop named "Pictures" where I place .jpg photos I share with my family. I created a shortcut to "Pictures" and now want to capture some of the files to place on disk but my Directory doesn't show up in Explorer???

C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\Pictures\DD&Rfla.jpg

Where the &@#* did my Directory go and how can I get it to display in Explorer? The above line is a cut and paste copy of the path that users see when the picture I want is open.

Help! and Thanks.

You actually moved the folder to the desktop instead of creating a shortcut to that folder. Move the folder on your desktop back to explorer then right mouse button on the folder in explorer create a shortcut then drag that shortcut to the desktop.

Using windows explorer simply follow the directory path..
C:\ is the root
click the PLUS in the root for the windows folder.
next click on the PLUS for the desktop, and next click on the PICTURES folder and there are you .JPG files...

Rememberif you know the file extension or the name of the file, it is very easy to find them using FIND file and folder from the START button on the task bar.. after you locate the file you wand simply right click on the file and select send to A:
