How can I take pictures out of folders but not put them into another folder
I want to re arrange all my photos. I want to take everyone of them out and just have them all together. I cant seem to figure out how to do this. Please explain to me how i can just have them together [in no folders]

Thanks!

Welcome to the TSG forum
I'm confused ????
All together means ... In a folder.
Even if you put them on your desktop .. They're still in a folder.

They have to eventually go somewhere .. Like a folder.
Create a new folder .. and move them all there.

This help any ?

Ok it sounds like you have a "My Pictures" folder with other sub folders.
So just move the them out of the sub folders to the very same folder.

if you have a lot of pictures it would be best to keep them in separate folders. because sometimes if you have a lot of pic in one folder. it can take some time for the folder to open all the pics when you click on it. un less if you have a fast pc?

Yea lots of images in one folder will take longer to load and eat up lots and lots memory, cpu if you view them as thumbnails too.

Download Irfanview www.irfanview.com Open one of the photos and hit the t key. It will make thumbnails of the folder. Look on the left of the thumbnail page and find the larger folder that your images are in. It might be My Pictures or My Photos or wherever some program downloaded them for you. Select that folder.

Go Options > Load thumbs from all sub-folders. Now Irfanview will make thumbnails of all your photos in a single view.

You can do all your organizing right from that Irfanview thumbnail page. You can select groups of photos by holding the Ctrl key while you select them. Right click on one of the selected files and you can move the group anywhere you want. The navigator on the left gives you an easy way to make new folders. Just right click a folder and one of the choices is to make a new sub-folder. You can also make the thumbnails larger if you want.

If you don't like dialing thru all the folders to get to your Pictures folder ...
then go to your pictures folder ... right click on it then choose ..
Send To > Desktop (create short cut)

Since your probably using My Documents ...
This Folder will be in you C: drive > documents and settings > (user) > My Documents > My pictures

Even easier, download and install Picasa
http://picasa.google.com/
It is free, it will trawl through all your folders and make it "look like" they are all in the one place, without actually having to shift them.
