Hi
If I put a photo in the wrong folder, how do I go about moving it to the
correct one.
Thank you

It's no different with a photo than with any other file. You can drag
and drop it, as you suggested, cut and paste it, etc.

If you don't know how to drag and drop, open "Computer" and navigate
to the file you want to move. Then open "Computer" a second time, and
navigate to the folder where you want the file. Move one of the
windows so you can see both, then just click and drag the file.

Many senior citizens are very good with computers. I'm a senior
citizen, too.

There are many ways to do this, both in Vista and in XP.
