Windows 10: Windows 10 - Saved Pictures Folder

The photos in my Saved Pictures Folder were just wiped as I started my computer. I can't find them anywhere. It seemed to be a system thing. A message came up about canceling file transfer. I had them as the desktop background. They are not in one drive. Any info on where to find them?

:)

 

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

Saving pictures in the Pictures folder in Windows 10

Having just upgraded to Windows 10 I have tried to save a picture to a specific folder within the Pictures folder created during the upgrade. Within the Pictures folder there are a number of sub-folders which I had previously created in My Pictures folder
in Windows 7. So the upgrade appears to have worked ok.

However I am not allowed to save any pictures to any of the sub-folders. I receive a message as follows:

You don't have permission to save in this location.

Contact the administrator to obtain permission.

Would you like to save in the Pictures folder instead ..... if I click 'yes' nothing appears to happen.

Has anyone experienced this or has anyone got any suggestions

Thanks

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
