Problem with 'seeing' edited pictures and folders...

I have recently got a new computer and copied across all images etc from my HDD, I have been editing pictures from my old machine and using 'save as' to store them in an edited folder. When I go into the document I am compiling in microsoft word and go to open the folder it does not show as being there, neither do the images.

I also cannot see folders and files created/saved in DI from within 'my computer'. The only way I can use the pictures I have edited is to open all edited pictures within DI and email them back to myself. Then I can save and use them as normal.

This was never the case on my old computer as I used both word and DI and all files saved/edited in DI were available for me to pull into my document.

I have checked and double checked the path, but anyting outside of DI cannot see these folders and files.

Any ideas would ease my continued frustration!
