Well, I don' t have a page, but I will take a stab at it. I have all my
pictures in C:/Pictures/Surname
For instance, I have all my Ghee Pictures in C:/Pictures/Ghee. Ghee is then
broke down into Census, War, Records, etc based on the type of picture. So a
census record would go into C:/Pictures/Ghee/Census/1860JohnGhee.jpg.
If I am not mistaken, John Cardinals utility will change the links from
C:/Pictures to D:/Pictures for you.
