inserting photos in email messages

[leetee]

I wonder if anyone can help with this minor irritation. When I click on the "insert picture" icon to insert a photo in an email message, I hit the browse button on the 'Picture' window and a new 'look in' window opens showing a folder titled "reports" which, incidentally, doesn't open. I then have to use the drop-down menu to select My Documents and from there go to My Pictures to locate the photo. My question is this - is there any way I can go directly to My Pictures from the Look In window? I have tried deleting the 'reports' folder without success. I know it's not a major problem but I do find it irritating! I'm sure that at sometime in the past I was able to go My Pictures from the drop-down menu and have no idea where the 'reports' folder originated from. Appreciate any advice or suggestions.

What you do is you locate where 'My Pictures' is then you click on Tools (it should be located on the top right hand side of the 'Insert File' window) then from the Tools list click on 'Add to my places'. A shortcut of 'My Pictures' will now appear on the left hand side of the window. Let me know if you get any problems.

Hi Emma!
Appreciate your help.
Can I ask you where I should start off from in order to "locate where 'My Pictures' is"?
I've looked in the Tools menu in all different windows but can't see 'Add to My Places' anywhere.
Sorry if I'm being a bit thick!
Regards.

No problem. 'Add to My Places' is found by clicking on 'Tools' on the top right hand side in the 'Insert File' window. You can access the 'Insert File' window by choosing to insert a file (the paperclip icon) to an email.
