hi. i added a new 500GB hard drive to a client's pc and, using windows xp, moved the 'my documents' folder (including 'my pictures') to the new drive L:. When new photos are imported into elements, the downloader knows the correct location of the new folder. the existing pictures in elements are now, of course, disconnected.

short of going through the exhaustive task of reconnecting manually, is there a way to tell elements that the catalog & tags are now on drive L:?

thanks!

Move the folder back!

Then, in PSE, use Folder Location View to move your photos to the new drive. You should be able to move an entire tree of folders this way.
