Seamaiden, your attention to detail is remarkable, thanks for the spell check. Im very envois of your comp. knowledge. Mabey some day I will gain a little more computer skills. How do you change my avatar???Triangulate a hypotenuse?NOT I! But, I can spell it.
Actually I believe I hit the nail on the head with my post here https://www.rollitup.org/toke-n-talk/91395-computer-advice-pc-vista.html#post1072249
One should NEVER use the directory structure under Documents and Settings! A user CAN and SHOULD control where their files go...as I outlined in my post. There is no need to delete or change a user account if you follow the advice I outlined.
Additionally a user THINKING they are deleting things such as a user Profile by methods others have suggested probably don't realize that those settings are also buried in the Registry... and unless you are an experienced IT person you should NOT attempt to mess with the registry.
As to the statement "The location will remain untouched" that is BANG ON CORRECT! For those that don't understand how the disk drive works.... here is a 5 cent explanation. A disk drive actually looks like a CD on the inside (except more like a mirror then a regular CD). When your computer writes a file to the drive... the location it uses REMAINS THE SAME EVEN IF YOU MOVE THE FILE(S). In fact you are not moving the physical location of the file on the disk.... you are moving the POINTER that tells the OS and/or software application where to find that file on the disk drive. Think of it like an indexing system.
Hope that helps

Oh! I know what you mean, that happens to me as well when working on my XP laptop, the dialog box doesn't show all files, nor does it show their tags (I can upload jpgs, but not raw format photos). What I do in that situation is open up the folder where the pic is stored so I can find it and its order directly. Make sense?
Thank you, it's why I did well as a book editor (and got mad when I saw the chapters and captions they didn't have me check, because THOSE were fucked up post-print!).
Like I've told Twistyman, I was dragged into the computer age and internet by my folks (they both just turned 69 this year), then from there I was forced to learn if I wanted to do what I wanted to do.Yes, that's essentially what's happening, the image is being uploaded onto the RIU server.
