Print Screen Button on keyboard
Hello,
My screen saver is set to slide show which cycles through "My Pictures" file. Sometimes I see pictures I want to find in my file. I can "freeze" them by pressing PrtSc button then paste to "Microsoft Word", but I can't seem to bring up the file name of the photo. There must be a simple solution, like right clicking to go to properties (but nothing shows up in properties).
Any ideas or solutions to finding a file name?
Thanks, JB

The image you pasted came from the Windows Clipboard and until it is saved it has no file name. If the image is in My Pictures you should be able to find it quite readily by viewing My Pictures in Windows Explorer by choosing View|Thumbnails.

Denny,
That's, absolutely, the right answer but I was wondering if there was a way of identifying my specific photo without having to visually sort through many photos (100's). All the images have a notation, because they originate from my photos. Just trying to save some time!
Thanks, JB

One thing you might do. If you have a feeling for when the picture was taken open My Pictures and select View|Details. Click "Date Modified" to sort the pictures chronologically (one click sorts them in ascending order, another sorts the in descending order) , then shift back to View|Thumbnails. Your thumbnails will also be sorted chronologically.
