How do I get pictures out of my hard drive?

Answer 1

You can delete all you want ,but you really can't . They will always be on the hard drive somewhere.

Answer 2

If you're wanting to move your pictures - you can get a flash drive and copy them to it by dragging.

If you want to delete, select the picture and delete. Eventually the space will be written over. If you format your drive, it should erase the stuff - or there is 3rd party software that will wipe your disc clean.

I would never worry about files that you can't normall access. Most people buying a used computer will never look. They're just interested in making the computer theirs. Most people don't know how anyway - as you would need special software.

Answer 3

this is what happens when newbies get a computer. they are in such a hurry to get on the net they don't take a couple of weeks to learn ther computer and browser. then they can't do anything when they get on here.

★★ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ★★

◙ You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first started. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. You should get both of them. Each one has information the other doesn't have. You'll learn cut, copy, paste, delete, making files, drag and drop and many many more helpful tricks.

◙ Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. Only libraries can get an account at Firstsearch.org. So you need to go to the library to search it. When you find what you want have the librarian order it for you. Read it and then return it to them. :)

◙ Here are two more great books. One is Windows XP Headaches. It teaches you how to fix many common and uncommon computer problems you'll run into with Windows XP. The other is PCs The Missing Manual. There are hundreds of tutorials in this book from hooking up a router to sharing and IPod between two computers and the list goes on and on. Ipoders will find some helpful information here too.

◙ Smart Computing Magazine -- This is the number one magazine for Windows tips. They'll show you how to clean your registry, spyware, adware, and a zillion other tricks. There are quite literally hundreds of tips per issue. They even have an online database of tips, forums and chats. Their online version of the magazine is a lot cheaper.

◙ Microsoft Product Discussion Groups -- You'll need to signup for an MSN Passport Account to use these groups. But it's really worth your time. You'll receive better help here than anywhere else. If you want help with a product you didn't pay for don't tell them that you didn't pay for it. :)
