My Pictures Problem

    I think you will find, as I did, that if you make Picasa your default picture folder, it will copy the picture into both My Pictures and Picasa. It's actually easier to upload a picture from MP than it is from Picasa. Hope this helps.

    Well I'm not sure how it works with ebay as I don't use them but I would imagine it's the same for every site. When it asks you for the picture it normally goes to the MP folder. You just highlight the picture you want and click ok. It should then upload. Any problems, please ask:)

    Picasa does not store picture files, it indexes them. All pictures are stored in your my pictures folders or others you specify.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
