Addendum: All of this is on a single PC, and networking other pCs makes it another nightmare scenario with Shared Docs and crap. Hi Lizabelle, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help. The easiest way to move photos from one location to another would be to copy and paste them. If you've used an app to manage your photos, they can sometimes copy them into multiple locations depending on how the app works.
Also, in case you'd like to move it, you can move the location of your Pictures folder to wherever you'd like on your PC. Please let me know if you have other questions!

Not sure it'll help ya, but it's what I do. Sorry for the confusion - you won't need to copy and paste each individual photo. You can copy and paste the folder that contains all of your photos, and they'll all be moved in one action. It might take a while for the computer to move the photos, but you can just let it run through the process - you just need to copy and paste once then let it go! Which folder contains all my pictures? Keith A. In reply to Lizabelle's post on April 28, Some specifics would help file system paths to folders Start by viewing the Properties for the folders under This PC.
Tweak the frame so that it fills the bottom half of the screen. In the View menu, select "List". Open another instance of File Explorer. Navigate to the iCloud Photos folder. Use the right mouse button to drag this folder to the bottom frame. Select move when prompted. Up through Windows XP it always did, but Windows Vista introduced the new address bar we're using today.
Microsoft decided to change it slightly to aid in navigation. First, they removed the backslashes and put little arrows in their place, figuring they would make more sense to the common user. Second, they made the address bar more interactive.
Clicking a folder in the address bar will now bring you to that location, but also, if you click the right facing arrow next to a folder We see here, within the Documents folder, there are four sub folders, and the folder we're currently in, New Folder, is highlighted in bold.
At this point we could click on any of the sub folders, like Stuff, which would bring us to that folder. We use shortcuts all the time in our day in, day out usage of our computers. You may not even realize what a shortcut is, but you still use them if you use a computer. In it's simplest terms, a shortcut is a link that refers to a file or folder located somewhere else on your computer.
You'll most commonly find shortcuts on your desktop, start menu, and the navigation pane in any Windows Explorer window, but a shortcut can be placed just about anywhere. Shortcuts serve a few different purposes: safety, space, and probably most of all, convenience. Files and folders can be spread across the C: drive in many different locations.
It would be a huge hassle to have to manually navigate to whatever we're looking for each time. Instead, Microsoft makes it easy by placing shortcuts in easy access locations. Everything in the start menu is a shortcut. Everything in the All Programs list is a shortcut. Windows 7 puts shortcuts for your data folders and other commonly used folders right in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer. If there were no shortcuts on this computer, every time we wanted to get to our documents folder, we'd have to open a Windows Explorer window, then navigate to:.
What a pain in the neck that would be! You'll also find shortcuts directly on. You can always tell a shortcut by it's icon. If there's a little arrow in the bottom left hand corner of the icon, it's a shortcut.
In this screenshot here, the Internet Explorer Icon is a shortcut. It's merely a link to the actual program on the computer, which is in the directory:. The shortcut saves us the convenience of having to always navigate to that folder to launch Internet Explorer, but it also serves as a safety measure to user error. Because the shortcut is not the actual program, if we were to accidentally delete the icon, it wouldn't remove the program.
The "New Text File. We know this because there's no little arrow in the bottom left hand corner of the icon. So if we were to delete that icon, we'd be deleting the file. Some of you may be asking, "What's the purpose of the ". Now that we know how to navigate around the computer, and access the folders we need to, let's talk a little bit about the files in those folders. Every file on your computer requires a specific program to view that file, and every file has a file extension.
A file extension is a suffix, separated by a dot. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. Download Microsoft Edge More info. Contents Exit focus mode. Is this page helpful?

Warning For typical single-drive configurations, it's best that you not use a separate data partition.
There are two main reasons: The partition may not automatically protect data that is stored outside the user profile folders. For example, a guest user might have access to files in an unprotected data partition.
If you change the default location of the user profile folders to any volume other than the system volume, you cannot service your image. The computer may not apply updates, fixes, or service packs to the installation. A Windows file usually has a file extension, which helps Windows understand what type it is and how to read it.

A deleted file first gets recycled into the Recycle Bin folder, which normally resides on the desktop. You can restore the deleted files from the Recycle Bin. You can also configure the Recycle Bin to increase its storage, remove the "Delete confirmation" dialog or not to recycle files to it. If you choose to do the last item, then Windows permanently deletes files without first recycling them into the bin.
