Re: [Digital BW] Vista v. XP??

I agree that getting the data out of the program area is a good idea, 
too bad MS is "forcing" me to do what I've done for years--no sense 
backing up program files when all you really want to back up is data. 
(You image the programs once.)

But it makes me crazy that Vista will only do a slide show on files that 
are in the pre-mandated "photos" directory. It won't recognize the 
directory name "photos" if it's under a user-created tree.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
