I aint that good with computers to try that.

Jean, If you want, I could post step by step instructions how to make a new daylily folder, and the process to move the pictures is just drag and drop.

I have my pictures in a folder now. I think I started my folder this past August. My problem is that I missed a few pictures I knew I had, then had to go through a huge search to find them. It will be easier for me from now on. Pulling pictures from the folder is s snap!

Thanks Brad,THat might would help, I have taught myself the little I know about using computer by reading books on Thea subject but still at a loss with pc language,

Jean, click on the windows start menu, then on your name at the top right. Right click anywhere in the blank area under the folders, and choose "new" then choose "folder" from the list. Now you can right click on the folder and name it what you want, such as daylilies.

Open that folder. Just leave it for the moment.

Go to where you have your daylily pictures stored and open that. You should be able to drag them into the new daylily folder. If you have trouble moving them, tell me where you have the daylilies stored and I'll try to figure it out from that info.

Brad; Do you have to move one picture at a time?

Brad: I went ahead and clicked on windows, then on my name LIKE YOU SAID, JUST TO SEE WHATS THERE.i HAD NEVER CLICKED ON IT BEFORE.. JUST HAD 3 THINGS THERE AND NO BLANK SPACE. IT HAD CHANGE ACCOUNT PICTURE, Lock, and sign out. and no blank space.This crazy computer has nothing like my H.P had. this is a ACER computer.One of these days I am going to lose my patienceWITH IT and remodel it with a foot. well, I keep hitting wrong key and get the lock key.

Jean, No you don't have to move one at a time.

To get there, try this: Click on Computer, then C drive, then Users, then your name. Right click in the blank area then new and choose folder.

Brad;I have checked this out and found the folders, finally, but, not going to move pictures right now.It seems O lost most of my pictures when I was having so much trouble with internet. I had downloaded the windows 10 into my hp,and it also put some kind of bug or virus in the pc too.,so is why I have this acer pc now, but, have talked to some one who said he can back up my hp, to before the trouble started, and if zi can get that done,i will go back to using my hp again.

Your pictures should still be on the HP.

So, what kind of problems is the virus on the HP giving you? Can you get into windows and on your account? Can you get onto the internet?

Here is an awesome tool for getting rid of viruses [this is one of the things I do in my job]: Rogue Killer. It does not need to install. It just runs. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/roguekiller/

If you can't get on the internet on your hp, but can get onto your account on the Hp, download it to your acer and put it on a flash drive [also called thumb drive] and plug it into the hp, Open up the flash drive in Computer or whatever windows 10 is calling it.

If you can get that far, I can then walk you thru the rest.

Brad, I got on the internet with the HP but it wouldn't stay connected. disconnect in a second or two, then connect again for a few seconds or minute. didn't stay connected long enough to do anythingI had one of the boss men out here to find the problem and he had some thing he connected to the internet.Hes the one told me when I downloaded the windows 10 in it,it also put a bug of some kind in it,and some of the problem is old wires out at the street that needs to be changed out, that he can take care of, but, so far that hasn't been done, and probably wont get done either.. he was a tech for the cable company.I sure don't like this Acer pc. but,at least it stays connected.I'm not going to worry about any pictures till spring now,,as the ones I have in this pc, don't know right now, why I didn't put names on them, but, now, looking at them,I cant remember the names of all of them. well, some I know the names but just cant think of it right now. and I don't know where I put the tablet where I had wrote all the names down as I took the pictures, so will just wait and start over with my pictures this spring. Jean

Ok. too bad I'm not near you because I could probably fix it [not the wires outside].

Brad

well haven't noticed internet cutting off and on with this Acer pc,but it is really slow. and I do mean slow.........

Jean, 1-Make sure you defragment your hard drive. This is the #1 problem I find with slow computers. This will make it easy: download smart defrag. When you install it, be sure to uncheck on any screen extras it wants to install, and at the end of the installation check "give up my gift".

Open Smart Defrag, click the automatically box to defragment your C drive. Tell it to Analyze the hard drive. You can then click the X in the corner and that will minimize it to the bottom right corner of your computer and you can ignore it. It will take a while the first time; after that it runs in the background when the computer is on and you aren't doing anything on it. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/iobit_smartdefrag.html

2-Download and install CCleaner. It gets rid of tons of fragments that clog your computer. When it is installed, open it and click Analyze. The first time you use it it may take 15 minutes or more to run. It will want you to close your internet browser. When it is done searching, it will give to an option to delete all the junk. Do that.Run it every couple of months.

Between these 2 programs you should see a big difference. There are other things that could be done, but I can't really explain them to you this way. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/ccleaner_slim.html

Brad.This Acer pc was very slow, right from day oneI do have nortons on it, and do a complete scan and cleanup once a week, too.

Norton might clean the junk files, but it won't defragment, which is very important. Also, although Norton was once one of the best, it is not anymore. Several of the best antivirus programs are absolutely free. Bit Defender and Panda free are 2 of the ones I recommend. I have one computer with Panda and one with Bit Defender and both work extremely well. They work in the background and don't bug you, though Panda will occasionally ask you to upgrade to paid and just click no.

I've also seen Norton slow down computers because it is so huge.

I would recommend uninstalling Norton and install instead Bit Defender, and also the defragmenter and ccleaner I mentioned above. I think you will be happy you did. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/bitdefender_free_edition.html

Brad, I need your help!! My computer is slow too. I have read all of this and want to try. I have the free Avast Anti-virus downloaded. Do you think the one you use is better? Do you know if I will have to uninstall Avast before I can download the other? Thank you for your help!!

Avast is pretty good, but Panda is a little better and uses less system resources. Yes, you need to uninstall Avast first. The best way is to download the Avast uninstaller--works better than the uninstaller that comes with Avast. Just do a search and it will come up in the search.

Thank you brad, for all this advice and suggestions.I have copied and pasted it in my document files so I can go back and do this llater when I am feeling better. and not so tired.been fighting a migraine headache all day,, and also don't know what to do about the nortons that's in this pc. it was put on automatic renewal by a daughter, so don't know just when it expires,and it WASNT cheap either. :(.I use to have a good friend that would come fix anything that needed fixed for me in the pc, but, recently passed away, so have to fix it myself, now.I will have to follow your directions to fix this thing now"Thank you for all your help.

jean

Jean, Sorry to hear about your migraine.

Here's a link to how to cancel the Norton automatic renewal, and also how to get a refund for unused time. If you are able to cancel and get a refund, then you can go ahead and put on bit defender. There's even a video if you need to watch.
