(Sorry for being slow to answer your offer to help. I've been ill.) I think the problem is that I somehow deleted the "path" in the "Libraries." I did notice that all 276 photo files are shown in "My Pictures" (C:/users/Carol) in "Documents" (after the 100+ documents saved [I write, so lots of word docs]), so pictures were not deleted. BUT if I click on "Pictures" in "Libraries," this happens: 1. The first window says "Pictures is empty" and "No folder has been included in this library" and an option to click on "Include a Folder." 2. The second window asked me to create a folder by typing in a folder name, so I typed in My Pictures, and clicked "Include Folder." 3. The final window said "My Pictures. Path does not exist. Check the path and try again." I think I deleted the path in "Libraries" by deleting what I thought was a duplicate "My Pictures" under "Pictures." Am I making better sense re: what my problem is? Your help is much appreciated.
