I have lost pictures that I was slding to another folder to save for the year and lost them on the way, I can't find them, what happens to them and can I find them?  I looked in all my folders thinking they may have dropped in one of those but they weren't there.  I have no idea where to look.

Hello Kathleengraves,
 
Welcome to the Community!
 
Can I ask what version of Windows you have? Is it W/7 , W/Vista, or W/ 8.1? In W/8.1 you can install the Photo Gallery and it will do a search of pictures on your computer.
 
Have you checked the trash? Maybe a System Restore point? With Windows 7 you can go to the Start button and do you see Recent Items?
 Also try Search..
 
To search for a file or folder:
  • Click Start, and then click Search.
  • In the Search Companion dialog box, click All files and folders.
  • Type part or all of the name of the file or folder, or type a word or phrase that is in the file.
@  is our Windows Expert are you around?
 
 
Hope this helps!
 
Best Regards,
