kscherer Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 My apologies if this has been covered in the past. I have a new computer with Windows 10. When I download my photos, they now are sent to a Windows photo viewer instead of "Pictures" folder like on my old computer. Ugh! I was able to change settings; now downloads to "Documents", but I can't figure out how to get them to download into "Pictures". Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Brian Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yeah, I know of a fix. It’s a registry hack to get the photo viewer back in the list. I will answer this later when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Alright, I've re-read your question. I take my previous comment back. Windows Photo Viewer is the default viewing program. Are you wanting to see the images in the pictures folder? How are you downloading your images to you computer? With a card reader or your camera attached to your computer?

kscherer Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Thanks for your help! I’m downloading with card reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 So you download the images how? With a software program or the standard copy/paste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscherer Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 I use an SD card reader. With Windows 7, the images would default to “ My Pictures “ folder. With Windows 10, they download by default to a photo viewer. I was able to somehow with YouTube assistance get it to go to my documents, but I would rather it go to the pictures folder.
