Note: Setting a drive or folder to "Remove from Picasa" Does not erase the folder or drive, it simply tells Picasa to ignore it and not show it to you in the library or folder collection. The Folder List on the left shows all the Drives and Folders on your Computer. Go to the Tools menu -> Folder Manager (see photos below). If you want to see other folders later you can always go to the folder manager and set them to be watched or you can remove folders you no longer want to watch without deleting the photos.Ĭonfigure Tools -> Folder Manager so Picasa will see all your photos If you have a scanner that scans to a folder on your computer, you can either make sure that folder is a subfolder of My Pictures, or tell Picasa to watch that scanner folder, that way you can use the normal scanner software and the scans will automatically be shown in Picasa. This avoids Picasa scanning a bunch of non-photo folders. A better option is to have a folder on that drive that contains all the photo subfolders and watch that folder in Picasa. If that drive only contains photos, you could set the whole drive to be seen in Picasa. You might want to keep your photos on a separate drive either so you don't fill up the C: drive, or to keep them separate. This will allow you to use Picasa to move those photos to the folders you want them in, rather than having to use Windows Explorer. Many people routinely copy photos from the web or Emails to the Desktop, so the Desktop could be set to show in Picasa.

If you don't want to include all subfolders in Documents, you might still want to see photos in a few subfolders, so you could set up to watch just those folders. The My Documents folder is often included if you sometimes create documents that have photos associated. Determine where your Photos are stored on your computerĪlmost everyone should include the My Pictures folder because even if you don't keep all your photos there, many Windows programs save pictures there.
