Hi, I'm having trouble with the My Pictures folder in Windows 7 (Ultimate 64). I tried to move the default "My Pictures" folder (which was in my user folder) into "My Documents," but now it doesn't show up anywhere - not under "my documents" nor under my user folder. I'm able to create a new folder in my user folder with the name "my pictures," but i don't believe it's a shell folder. If I try to create a "my pictures" folder in "my documents," it says there already exists a folder with that name in that location - but there's not (or, at least, I can't see it)! All I want is to have a "my pictures" folder within "my documents!" Can anyone help? Thanks, Dan

Did you try to enable the viewing of hidden objects from folder options? try that [Links to third-party paid support not permitted in this forum]

Did you try to enable the viewing of hidden objects from folder options? try thatThe Computer Manual

Or try doing a search for it also

Can you see it browsing your hard drive? Should be in: C:\Users\(User Account)\My Pictures But, you tried moving it into: C:\Users\(User Account)\My Documents\My Pictures? Also, good ol' log off/log back in to refresh your profile.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you all! lonewolf: I tried viewing hidden files/folders - no good. Al: Search doesn't turn anything up. stealthfield: I'm not able to see it browsing my hard drive. I did try the operation you described, which lead to the problem. And, this problem has been going on for weeks - I've restarted my computer numerous times, to no avail. thanks for your help! anyone have any other ideas?

No, I'm not able to see it browsing my hard drive.

Then its possibly deleted. Run CHKDSK and see if there is any disk errors. Vote if answered or helpful, I am running for Office (joke)!
