Karen, the _vti folders and files are used by FP to keep track of your website and changes made. Those files are what allow you change a file name from within the program and have the links to the file adjusted or for you to move files to another folder and have those links adjusted. Because Rootsweb does not habe FrontPage Server extensions installed on their servers, it is not necessary to upload those particular files. BUT do not delete them from your hard drive. Just delete the incorrect index file and upload the current one and everything should be OK. pat ---------- Pat Geary, Microsoft MVP - FrontPage We discuss FrontPage and Expression Web http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gearyfamily/frontpage/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gearyfamily/expression-web/ Genealogy Web Design Tips and Tutorials http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/ http://www.blog.family-genealogy-online.com/

Pat the index file is index.htm and not .html does this make any difference?

Pat when I checked the hard drive index.htm did include the _vti_cnf_.folder.This was code depicting contents of the main or index page I have online.. So is there any chance that I can safely remove this file from rootsweb and go back to original files without having something happen to the pages.. I really appreciate all the help you experienced website owners deliver..

I have Picassa from Google. It does not contain spyware; however, it does ask if you would like your browsing habits reported to Google. If you say no it causes no problems. I haven't tried the imaging editing features since I use PaintShop Pro, but otherwise it is a neat way to organize your photos and view slide shows. I love it for that. Search for Google Gadgets (Using Google, of course). Ron Wall

Alice, I use Corel PSP XI (abt. $100) as well as older JASC PSP 9 (like this one best), however, Google's Picasa 2.7 has a crop and other adjustment tools that appear to work really well. The application is located at the Google site. It's free so may contain spyware. You can setup your scanner to open the image into Picasa or open it from the Picasa application. Picasa constantly updates your image files. I like it best when it is not doing that in the background while I'm working. I just cleared it from my start-up applications and manually run it when I'm not using a lot of RAM. If you still have an install disk for your old familiar image editing software, but it doesn't work with XP, try downloading new drivers from the application company website or use their help page to solve your problem.

I've seen GIMP, which is free and it's almost as powerful as Elements. Having spent only a few minutes with this powerful software (I use Elements) I'm impressed with its features including batch processing.

Hi Alice, Adobe Photoshop Elements will certainly do what you describe, but you don't need to spend the money. Picasa <picasa.google.com> and Irfanview <irfanview.tuwien.ac.at> are both free, popular and basic organizer/editor programs. I don't see where Picasa will change the pixel dimensions of your images but Irfanview will. Both have capable image enhancement features you might want. And both are simple to use but take your time learning to do what you want, with these or any other editor. More to the point, can anyone on this list suggest a good mailing list or web site for advice for choosing an image editor? Hope this helps...

If that is all you want to do, look for something inexpensive. Miscrosoft PictureIt does that and a host of other photo retouching jobs. I'm sure that there is other inexpensive software out there that allows you to crop and retouch photos. Ron Wall

A big thanks to all of you for helping me decide what to do with photos and the clues about spyware. This mailing list is great and information is outstanding. I really appreciate you. I recently used Broderbund to make a scrapbook for a reception. Perhaps, that's were I picked up the spyware. Guess you get what you pay for in software. There just, "ain't no free lunch!" Thanks, again, for your valuable help. Shari

WOW!!! Am I overwhelmed or what?? thank you all for the assiatance with missing pictures.Now I will have to print the responses and attempt to review the cause and solutions.. You do underatad that lot of this IS way over my head ..lol I will get to bottom of it in time.. I am using FP 2003 to create the pages.. Karen

Hi folks, Just a quick note. Paintshop Pro was bought by Corel. I used to use it but just before the change in ownership I changed to Photoshop Elements. It's a different user interface (namely you have relearn where things are, the names and the different keystrokes to do things) but I'm slowly getting comfortable with it. Elements is about the same price as Paintshop Pro used to be, under $100 and sometimes a sale will get it for $50 or less. I would not pay the $500+ price for the full Photoshop either. I'm not a professional and don't pretend that I will be that good in my lifetime. I'm retired and image editing is occasional. Take care...
