How do you find saved photos on your computer?

Answer 1

If you want to search for any particular image that you remember but dont know its name or location, the easy way to get it is through Picassa.

This way you will easily get all the images within you PC stored anywhere.

Search it in your computer..

Click on Start -> Search -> Search File or Folder, now enter *.jpg/*.gif or any other image extensions you need to find..

More Information: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.

I find the easy way to do this is to create a new folder on the desktop and download to this. now you can edit or put file or picture in the place where you like to keep this.

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.

I usually use iPhoto to manage all my photos on Mac OSX

Open My Computer- Click on search- Then on the bottom left of your screen there is button All files and folders- In the file name section type the name of the file and click on search
