Windows 7: "Browse for more pictures..." doesn't work.

Hi guys, just intalled Win 7 after having it some time and I love it. I usually clean out my "sample pictures, music and videos" up after installation. This may or may not have something to do with my minor annoyance. If I go to my user profile and I wish to change my picture, the "browse for more pictures..." link does nothing when I click to it. I dont know if it's trying to reference that folder. I put a new folder and named it sample pictures in C:Users/public/public pictures but still no dice. Any idea how to replace them? fix windows or find them on the DVD and place them back in their appropriate place? I should probably familiarize myself a little more with the OS before I start deleting folders and what not..
Anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards.

Hello Loren, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might see if running a sfc /scannow command may help.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

User account pictures are located here:
C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

When I browse for more pictures it defaults to the pictures library. I also removed the public folders and sample files. Thats not a problem. You can add images to the path I mentioned above. Images should be in BMP format with a resolution of 128x128.

Thanks guys, I'll give both a shot.. thanks again!
Great forum by the way! Fast and friendly.. looks like a new "home" for me.
thanks again.

Hey guys, a repair install did the trick.. think I'll keep all the files for a while untill I get a full handle on this. Thanks for the quick replies!!
Best regards,

That's great news RxLoren. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.

Not exactly, They can be .PNG or even .JPG Of less/equal or greater sizes (Just on the select picture screen, the thumbnail WILL NOT SHOW UP unless it's a .BMP and 128x128. However, If You click the inviso-thumbnails It Will set the pic that's associated with that inviso-thumbnail as your profile pic no problem... (hehe silly Microsoft, yet another eansy weensy bug splatter on the Windows 7 WindShield...But with good reason.)

"THANK YOU , THANK YOU, With the link You provided {"C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures"} Instead of worrying about trying to get the applet to work so that "BROWSE FOR MORE PICTURES..." Would work again, I simply copied the pictures that i wanted to the destination You provided and applied the one I most wanted as my account image, Imagine that! Thanks for enlightening me on doing that, i was so focused on finding a fix, that I did not even think of the simple solution to the issue!

P.S. is this not an easier fix than restoring back re-imaging or looking for a fix? I think so, BTW this is not the first time Browse for more pictures has stopped working here... Anyway Enjoy Your PC Time...
