RE: how to post pics
That isn’t absolutely essential – but is a very good idea, presuming you want ever to be able to find it again. (even if you save to sesktop, you’ll pretty soon lose your desktop under the clutter of saved JPEGs) The art of organizing a hard disk is becoming one of the lost arts. TGILD.
I have set up a subfolder called “pictures” – under “My documents”. Within my pictures subfolder, I have other layers of folders inthe computer-classic tree style – a subfolder for aviation, for general military, for travel photos,etc. Then within my aviation subfolder still further subfolder divisions, one for each of the major soursces I’ve taken photos, Monino, Moscow Air Show 95, Moscow air show 97, etc. another separate subfolder for my web-downloaded photos to keep them separate from my own efforts. Then within eachof these folders… well you get the idea. As many subfolders to file and organize as you need to bring order out of chaos. Then you can use Win Explorer to find whateveryyou’ve filed properly. Personally, I prefer PowerDesk’s file manager “ExplorerPlus”, which is like Windows explorer on steroids. You might be able to find the freeware downlaodable at one of several different computer magazine sites, such as http://www.pcworld.com/
BTW – the reason for putting the pictures file under “My documents” is that i put all my files which I produce – downloads, word processing, spread sheet, everything that is “made” rather than installed, under “my documents” then it is easy to back up the “irreplaceable crown jewels” more easily. Of course, other people might give you differnet solutions, which work just as well for them. but this is the details of what works for one obsessive-compulsive guy.
