    Duly noted. :oops: I rarely read the DateStamp on these posts, so it appears that I am what someone called me, a while ago, to whit: "An Epic Necroposter". Whatever that is... Not that I care too much, anyway. I enjoy a bit of a laugh. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

    Where is it saved to?

    You could try right mouse button clicking on the picture and selecting either properties, or if this shows a link to go to file directly, use that. This should take you to where the files are stored on your PC, which they obviously are, and also because you say the program is loading them...

    After Removing Artex from Walls...

    Job now done. 3 coats of white emulsion on the wall and no peeling/stripping. Unfortunately for me, though, I am putting the stuff on the wall and I am thinking - this matt emulsion is a bit shiny, maybe it will dry matt. No it don't. A quick check on the pot and it says on the printed...

    Where is it saved to?

    Check your microscope software options/preferences tab, and look for the deault save path. They may be being saved in your TMP or Temp folder which is a System Folder. If you HAVE truly deleted them, have you emptied your Trash lately? Sometimes, they still show up until this is done.
