My nephew has a computer on which a bunch the photos (which he used
to view in Picasa) suddenly disappeared from there.
If I go into the Libraries and do a search for "picasa", I can see
all the pictures, but I can't open them. Here's the strange part,
the folder heading says they are in:
2007-04-08 (c:\users\xxx\Desktop\backup\HP_Administrator\local
settings\temp\Picasa2\CD_Prep_1\Pictures)
The date at the beginning changes, but the rest stays the same.
If I go to the cmd prompt, I can go as far as:
c:\users\xxx\Desktop\backup\HP_Administrator\local settings\temp
But the temp folder is empty.
If I select a picture or group of pictures, I can copy it (at least,
Windows doesn't complete about Organize, Copy) but when I paste it
elsewhere, nothing happens.
I'm assuming that the files are in a compressed folder or temporary
folder somewhere, but I can't find them by doing a dir [filename] /s
from the root of C:.
Something tells me that this is really obvious, and I'm missing
something simple, but I can't figure it out (I'm also working on this
remotely over a shitty Internet connection).
Any ideas?
