Organizing Pictures in My Pictures
For Media Center to find and display your pictures, they
can be stored in several places:
The My Pictures folder on your Digital
■
Entertainment Center.
The Shared Pictures folder on your computer, which
■
allows you to share your pictures with others.
Other removable media such as a memory card, a
■
DVD, or a CD.
When you save pictures from your digital camera or
scanner to your computer, Windows automatically stores
them in the My Pictures folder in Windows Explorer unless
you manually store them in another place.
Before opening Media Center and viewing your pictures,
you may want to spend some time organizing your
pictures by creating picture folders in the My Pictures
folder in Windows Explorer.

the My Pictures folder.
