How To Find: My Documents, My Pictures and the Desktop Folders

If you have Windows 95, 98 or ME
Your DESKTOP Folder is located in:

C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP

If you have Windows 2000 or XP then read the following:

Both 2000 and XP allow Multiple Users to use the same computer. As such, there are Multiple Folders named: "My Documents", "My Pictures" and "DESKTOP".

This can be confusing! Try looking in the folders shown in the examples below:

Look in the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings
Then, look for your login name or look in the "Default" Folder.


While in PhotoELF, change to the "C:\Documents and Settings" Folder Look in each Sub folder for "My Documents" and then "My Pictures". Once you have located "Your Pictures", You can set this folder location to be a "Fast Folder". To Set-Up a "Fast Folder", click the "Hammer" on PhotoELF's toolbar. This will pop up the Preferences box. Click the "Folders" Tab. You may set up 5 different "Fast Folders" and each will be associated with the F1 to F5 Keys on your keyboard. Then, to get to a folder fast, just press the right "F" Key!
