Disklavier

Thanks.  I was able (in Windows) to "network" my computer wirelessly 
to the DK; however, I couldn't figure out how to "open" the Pictures 
Folder or access the DK.  I looked in My Computer but couldn't see 
anything. 
Anyone with some Windows expertise to help my upload JPEGs 
wirelessly?
