This could be my problem. All 9000 photos are in my My Pictures folder
within subfolders. My only concern is, when I move the photos will Digital
Image Library know where to find these pictures in their new place (an
external hard drive)? Do I need to move them within the Library? It appears
that the Library only is looking at images within the My Pictures and My
Videos folders.

Thanks,

Jer
