Sorted!
Thanx to all of you for your help - Purmus and bnt were absolutely correct. I was playing with permissions and dismayed to see that despite setting them on the root of her drive and inc all folders and subs, each time I checked permissions on folders they had been excluded. In the end, through changing and changing and changing I found all the pics...... In one of the several users profiles under my docs/pics as you would hope to find them.
Many thanx guys - ya stars! :up:
