Picasa.ini
Cleaning up my files again. I noticed that in most of my Folders there is a

Heather,
I went to Google and it does seem to be part of a program for photos. I don't think I use it so would like to know if it is safe to delete it from all my folders.

Thank you, Eileen Do you own a digital camera? And, did it come with software to enable you to connect it directly to the computer? If so, Picasa may have been installed at the same time. It is a program that finds and indexes your photos and creates an .ini file in any folder with images, usually ..jpg's. It usually opens when you connect your camera or its memory card to the PC. If that's the case, removing the .ini files will cause the program to rescan for images and recreate them. Do a search on your PC for Picasa.exe to see if and where it is installed. Whether to keep it or not would be up to you. sced13ri "Heather" wrote in message ... Check via Google.......seems it is part of a program for photos.....some interesting reading out there.

Yes, I do have a digital camera. I did a search for Picasa.exe and none was
found. Could it be a program that I uninstalled and it let behind all these picasa.ini in so many of my files? Eileen "looneytunesverizone.net verizone.net " "looneytunes wrote in message ...

From what I read on Google, I think that is your problem. I will find the
forum I saw and give you the link.....rather interesting what they got into with this.....and it does seem to stay after uninstalling the program. http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/25304.htm Heather "Eileen" wrote in message ...

Eileen Very possible, I would say that if you cannot find picasa.exe or any other references to picasa on your machine then the .ini files are left overs. You can delete them. That said, I have the program on my machine and find it useful for some photo printing options such as contact sheets. sced13ri "looneytunesverizone.net verizone.net " "looneytunes wrote in message ...
