Libraries- not working right-have to search much further for pics/docs
Hi,
I sure hope someone can help me with this. When I got this (Dell) computer a few months ago and opened Libraries, I had a nice clean and SHORT appearance that looked similar to this on the left side:
Libraries
Documents
Music
Pictures
Videos
...and perhaps 2 or 3 other items.
Then one day I opened Libraries and I suddenly had my whole computer system it seems showing up there.
Beyond that, I thought if I clicked "documents" or "pictures" in Libraries, ALL of them would be there. Not so. Now, if I'm searching for something I often have to search DOWN to each and every file labeled "documents" or "pictures" that are under files names same just under libraries... because they do not show up when I search in Libraries under such tags just below the "Libraries" tag. Some documents are in Document files three tow or three levels down. Sometimes I even have to search OS or Computer to find a document or photo. Isn't EVERYTHING supposed to be included in that first set of Libraries? I don't know what happened.
At one point, but I think it was AFTER this happened, my son moved all docs and photos from my old computer over to my desktop, but shouldn't they still be under Libraries now also? I HAVE found them in other doc/picture folders below libraries.
Does anyone know how I can move the other document and picture files so they will be in my Libraries under those tags and I don't have to search all through my computer to find them?
I thought I could do a screenshot, but can't seem to do that, either. Sorry. I hope I've given enough information to let you know what is going on.
The library now continues a long way to include "Lisa" (my name), Computer, Network, Control Panel, Documents (again...) and more...OS, another file called "Documents...and within these are picture files...all this under Libraries.
Thank you in advance!
Lisa
