I have just stared using my digital camera. The memory stick I am using (my first) says it is Folder 101msdcf. I downloaded it to my computer and sure enough the folder is as stated by the camera. I have since taken more pictures and want to download the whole thing (so I can delete the pictures from the memory stick and start all over). Questions: If I redownload the memory stick, what will happen to the pictures I have already downloaded? Can I rename the already downloaded folder and thus, when I download again it will go into 101msdef? (I am such a milktoast when it comes to anything that sounds complicated) Floreda

Floreda, when you are downloading from your memory stick, you have to take note just "where" the images are being saved to on your hard drive. Most likely, you're my Pictures folder may have been selected by default, or perhaps even MY documents. So check those out. If you download images you have already saved, your computer will alert you to this fact, suggesting you use another name to save them as. This, too, will give you a "clue" as to where you saved the first lot :-). Once the images have been downloaded, you can clear them from the memory stick by using the delete feature in your camera. Here are some sites which may give you some ideas of the process: http://school.edcentre.ca/resources/info10/module7a/lesson1.html http://www.coe.uh.edu/courses/photo/class2/class2.html#transfer http://www.seniorsnetwork.co.uk/digitalphoto/cameratopc.htm http://scs.k12.mi.us/hs/classes/safe_computing_how_to.htm http://www.thirdage.com/features/tech/booster/saving/ While not specifically about images, here are a couple of good tutorials on file saving which may be of help too: http://scs.k12.mi.us/hs/classes/safe_computing_how_to.htm http://www.thirdage.com/features/tech/booster/saving/ Lance P.
