  1. The people I work with aren't idiots, but they need things to stare them in the face. Most are computer illeterate and need everything automatic. However, all the pictures are saved on the server M:\ {month}. Cmon, they don't know how to use the browse button nonetheless try to put the pictures in the proper place. I see trying to set this up to work automatically would be a pain. I guess I will have to do this 60x a month for now. I'll research the above link and see what I can do.
  2. Thanks, but how do I accomplish this task. I've never used a file server or moved profiles before. Willing to learn, but I have to start somewhere. A step by step would help or a link to a "how to" website. I'll see what I can do if its too much work to post a "how to."
  3. I work for a company that has approximatley 50-60 employees who each have a user name and password to log on to WindowsXP Professional. Now, each employee needs to upload pictures using the default windows XP "scanner and camera wizard" The sequence is as follows: 1- I enter Sandisk into E: 2- The welcome to the scanner and camera wizard e: appears 3- I choose pictures to copy 4- I type name for the group of pictures which is usually the default "picture" 5- I choose a place to save the group of pictures which is usually: m:\2009 pics\november [this is the issue] 6- I choose delete after copying radio button. Now the issue I have is that some or most of the employees have a problem choosing the "browse" button at the time of choosing a "place to save the group of pictures" they are uploading onto the server. So each month, I go into 60 accounts, upload a dummy picture and save the picture into the corresponding folder for the corresponding month so that each time an employee logs onto the system and uploads a picture, the default "saving" location is going to be the folder "I" chose at the time of uploading the dummy picture for each account. Now each month, I must log on with each employee's password and user name and do this 60X every month which is a headache. Now, you're probably saying "why not train each person to use the [browse] button and save the picture in the proper folder." Well, that doesn't work because I have November pictures in the September folder for 2009. Hey, at least they were in a 2009 September folder and not a 2006 September folder. Anyway, is there a way I can create a batch file or a macro under windows XP or DOS (command.com) to change all the accounts to upload all pictures under the E: Sandisk drive into the respected monthly folder automatically. I don't want to do this 60X a month anymore. Oh, by the way, setting a separate terminal aside just for uploading pictures under a separate account will not work because someone always logs the system off or the power goes out and nobody knows how to do anything around here unless it's automatic. Keep in mind, everyone uploads countless pictures each month and they always go into the last folder that was set up by "me." If I forget to change an account, all the October and November pictures end up in the September folder and I have to check the modified dates and move each picture into the necessary folder which takes hours of time that I don't have anymore. Any ideas how to update each users account to place pictures into the corresponding monthly folder without doing the "dummy" picture upload 60X? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Brian
