Hi Lance

Thanks for your reply. I had read the page you sent, and I just re-read it.
It doesn't explain why the folders in Picassa2 disappear, I understand that
they are saved in my documents as well but I want them to also stay in
Picassa. This morning the mysterious "root folders" have dissappeared from
Picassa, but the screensaver and starred photos remain with no images in
either file?

Web albums seems like a great idea, but I can't keep the photos in Picassa2
long enough to send them to an album. I'm sure I'm missing some simple step
here if it is working for others.
