RE: New Article: 3 Ways to Print Pictures with Windows XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

When I want to print an attached picture .jpeg from an email (outlook
express) I choose the picture printing wizard and then I see all the pictures
seen on the web since a long time; So, it takes time to see the picture I
need to print in the window of the picture printing wizard.
But I can not select them to put it in the bin.
How could I do to erase from my picture printing wizard every picture I seen
on the web?

New Article: 3 Ways to Print Pictures with Windows XP

Windows XP Community writer Tony Northrup explains how With Windows XP, you
can get fresh prints in these three different ways:

• Instantly print pictures at home.

• Order prints online and pick them up from your local photo lab.

• Order prints online and have them delivered to your home.


You can ask questions or post comments about the article here.

Tony's article has already generated some community interest from a customer
who sent in comments via the private contact us link on the Web site.
The customer said:
In step one, the article states: "In Windows XP, open the folder containing
your pictures." and then step 2 "In the left pane, under Picture Tasks, click
Print Pictures."
ERROR - step two cannot be completed (there are no "Picture Tasks") if the
folder is any folder other than the "My Pictures" folder. Hence if a user has
pictures in a folder other than "My Pictures", this process cannot be used.

Tony's response:
The sidebar changes depending on the types of files in the folder. Explorer
has some algorithm that it uses to determine what to show in the sidebar, but
as long as there are a couple of pictures in the folder, it will show the
Picture Tasks sidebar. If you have a couple of pictures and 50 Word documents
in the folder, it probably won’t show the Picture Tasks sidebar, though
(unless it’s under My Pictures).

The other option for documenting how to start the picture printing wizard is
to have the user Ctrl-click the pictures they want to print, click the File
menu, and then click Print. That’s what I would do, and it works in any
folder. Unfortunately, (many users) have a hard time with Ctrl-clicking, so I
opted to document using the Picture Tasks sidebar instead. Now that I think
about it, I struggled with this point a bit when I was writing it, and
switched from documenting the menu to documenting the sidebar.
