If this is the case here, then look for a folder named "company name-
Images" buried in the My Pictures folder.

Not necessarily. Mine are in another folder elsewhere on the
computer.

Oh, okay. I thought mine was the default location. I don't remember being
given the option to change locations.

Is your folder name the same, i.e. "company name-Images" like mine or did
you change that too?

It's been a few years since I did it but i seem to recall the logo
file was in a particular file and when I used the logo in the
template I had to point to that file's location.

No it's in a file set aside for various data. That way I can just
copy the entire folder when I back up files.

I don't bother with Quickbooks backup. I jsut back up the entire
folder which inclusdes Quickbooks plus a bunch of other files.

I had the same problem, Heres a step by step solution to how I fixed
the problem.

1) Uninstall Quickbooks (Make sure you backup your data files) Run
RegSeeker to search for and remove registry data that contains
"Quickbooks"

2) Uninstall Microsoft .NET 1.1 Framework + Hotfixes (To guarentee no
flash 7 errors)

3) Uninstall Flash (To guarentee no flash 7 errors)

4) Reboot and Re-Install .NET 1.1 Framework.

5) Re-Install Standalone Flash 7

6) Disable NIC

7) Run Regedit > go to >
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser
Shell Folders

Look for My Pictures Key and make sure settings match:
My Pictures REG_EXPAND_SZ %USERPROFILE%My DocumentsMy Pictures

Make sure the "Type" field is a REG_EXPAND_SZ, if it is a regular
REG_SZ you will still get the same error.

8) Re-Install Quickbooks, you should not receive the same error.

9) Re-Enable Nic and update Flash from Quickbooks.

Should be good. Hope this helps.
