I have a question about Stop Windows XP from creating the My Pictures folder:

uhm..what's the point with this? You can just make the FOLDER hidden if it's so important...

This doesn't help the poor folks who like to see their hidden folders and files, but thanks for the effort.

Because most people that know what they are doing, do not want hidden files and folders 
enabled.

yupp, but the same thing happens when you do as the guide tells - hiding the file. So after all, it has the same effect as if you just make the folder hidden - much faster, much easier and all the same as wasteless as the guide/tutorial says. Anyway ..nice guide, but it's not useful as it is since thats the hard way to play hide and seek with "My pictures"...

i deleted & stopped windows from creating my pictures folder, but it must have been attached to my PICASA 2 picture program because it deleted the pics from there as well. i tried system restore, but it didn't work. now my wife is very upset with me, because all of our baby's pics were in this program. someone please help me get them back preferably without doing a recovery. thanx

Joe's List / System cleanup

Look in the recycle bin, see if the My Pictures folder is there. Otherwise you're probably to late to use any kind of recovery software but you could try a program like Restoration: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html


Repair install WinXP / Clean install WinXP
