Picasa, Where do I find automatic search for pictures?

[David M]

When you first load Picasa, it automatically offers to search all your drives and other storage devices for pictures. How do I get it to do that again? I already know how to load photos into Picasa from places where I know photos already exist. That's easy.

I want to make sure Picasa finds any old pictures in my old hard drives, where I may not know know the location of theses folders before I wipe these old drives clean in order to use these older drives for other purposes.

I could copy and paste all my my Picasa photos into a new folder in Vista and then delete Picasa and then reinstall Picasa in order to run this search function again, but I am trying to have to avoid doing that.

Thanks.

I found the answer in the Picasa Forum. In Picasa you go to Tools/Folder Manager. You select Scan Always and then select the drive or folder you want Picasa to scan.
