How do you find a picture you saved on your computer? |

Answer
This is a good question, since so many possible situations could be going on.
When downloading a picture, you first need to specify a location on your hard drive, then you download (d/l) the file. When the d/l is complete, then you need to find the saved file through My Computer or the Explorer, and then open the file with an application.
With so many steps involved, it's hard to say where you're going wrong. I would recommend going back to the internet (using Internet Explorer) and then trying to save another picture. When you're asked to name the file, you should see the old saved file in the same location that you're being asked. Here comes the saving/finding steps.
Before saving the file, click on the drop down list labeled "Save In" and see where that folder is buried under. For me, my folder is "My Pictures" which is buried under "My Documents" which is buried under "Desktop". When I save this file, I can go to the "My Documents" folder on my Desktop (which is what the main screen with all the icons is called), and then find the "My Pictures" folder and enter that. This could/should be where you'll find your pictures.
The next step (after *finding* the picture) is to open it. This means that you'll need a program capable of opening the picture. This program also needs to be "associated" with the file in order for you to simply double-click it. Usually Internet Explorer is "associated" and capable of opening graphic images, so when you double-click the image, IE should open it up for you to view/print. If this isn't working, then you'll need to get another graphics program - so just go to Yahoo and search for "Image Viewing Program" and you'll get hundreds if not thousands of search results. Pick a free app (or shareware) version, download & install it, then you should be able to open your pic!

if you have windows 98 or higher all you do is make sure that when you are saving the picture you specify the path. make sure its saved either in my documents or desktop for the easiest route. then click save and go to your desktop and double click the picture, or, if its in my documents, open my documents and double click the name.
easy as pie!! ;)

Answer
If you should lose an image on your machine, use the find utility on the start menu. Do a filefind..search for files and folders..or something like that. If you remember the exact name of the pic..like "herbsbirthday.jpg", you can search for that file. If all you remember is that it's a .jpg or .gif or .bmp, search for just that format. You may find a lot of images, but the one you "lost" should be among them.
