The folders and their contents are deleted when you delete shortcut folders from the Picture Shortcuts task pane in Picture Manager 2003 (828496)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2003
SUMMARYWhen you add a shortcut to the Picture
Shortcuts task pane in Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2003, you can
select the folders and the subfolders at the location that is defined by the
picture shortcut. If you delete these folders from the Picture
Shortcuts task pane, you are actually deleting the folders and all
their contents from their physical location on either a local or a network
drive. This does not occur when you remove (not delete) a top level item in the
Picture Shortcuts list because they are just shortcuts to the
physical locations and not actual representations of the physical locations of
files and folders. When you remove a Picture Shortcut, the
entry is removed from the list and there is no effect on the actual file
system.MORE INFORMATIONWhen you delete a folder (not Picture
Shortcut) from the Picture Shortcuts task pane, a
message will appear that warns you that you are actually deleting files (not
just removing a shortcut from a list). The message is different depending on
whether the drive the folder resides on is local or a network drive. If you try
to delete a folder that resides on a local drive, you receive the following
message: Confirm Folder Delete: "Are you sure you want
to remove the folder '<folder name>' and move all its contents to the
Recycle Bin?" If you try to delete a folder that resides on a network
drive (such as a SharePoint picture library), you receive the following
message: Confirm Folder Delete: "Are you sure you want
to remove the folder '<folder name>' and all its contents?"Note For network folders, after you click Yes to
confirm the folder deletion, the files are deleted from the network drive and
they are not moved to a Recycle Bin. If the folder contains
more than just images that are currently being previewed, you receive the
following message before the Confirm Folder Delete message:
Verify Folder Contents: "The selected locations contain
files and subfolders that are not currently being previewed. Please verify the
contents of the selected locations before deleting them. To view the other
files, on the View menu click Show Pictures Only."Whether or not a
folder appears under a particular picture shortcut depends on if it has been
hidden at the file system level. You can change the properties of a folder in
Windows Explorer so that it is "hidden". If it is hidden in Windows Explorer,
it will also be hidden in Picture Manager.
Note You may have to update picture shortcuts in Picture Manager.
