Finding your photos in Windows XP easily

Windows XP enables you to find photos on your computer quickly. No more hunting and pecking. That's because when you save a photo Windows XP automatically stores it in a folder named My Pictures, right on the Start menu.

Each time you transfer photos from your digital camera, Windows XP creates a new area, or subfolder, within My Pictures to contain them.

Windows XP also names the subfolder, but you can change the name at any time. (Remember, you're always in control!) Clicking on the subfolder displays the contents in thumbnail-size images. Double-click any thumbnail to see a larger version of the photo in the preview pane in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer program.

If you have network or Internet access, you can also save your photos to a network location or publish them directly to a Web site.

To select more than one photo in the folder, press and hold down the CTRL key while clicking each photo. Then drag and drop to move, copy, or delete the selected photos.

By the way, Windows XP can also store photos from other sources besides digital cameras, such as photos sent to you in e-mail or that you capture and save from the Web.
