Photo library
You can view any photos you have on your hard drive with HP TouchSmart Photos. To get photos from your
camera:

right side of the computer. (Alternatively, use the USB cable that came with the camera, and connect
the cable to the camera and then to a USB port in the computer.)
The HP TouchSmart view minimizes automatically and a Microsoft dialog appears.

Tap the Start button.

you want into the folder.
