No, but there are websites that will allow you to post pictures for
free. You can post the screenshot there and provide a link here.

Photobucket is one you might look at, there are others.

I'd like to make 2 suggestions:
1) Make a listing of all *.qdf files, so you get to know the directory
tree(s) that you are using now. I have just found another nice program
from karenware that I missed so far,which is "directory printer". Very
versatile, and it will print to csv as well as printer. I also use
Replicator for copying files at regular intervals. All Karen's programs
are freeware. See http://www.karenware.com/powertools/powertools.asp

2) I use shortcuts to the *.qdf file(s) I work with to start Quicken.
That means you'll always start up the same file in its last incarnation.

I open the same file each time.
My backups are done by Q but they are directed to a folder on an
external USB drive I use for this and other backups. These drives are
pretty cheap now and they work like a charm. Separate partitions on the
drive make things cleaner. If anything happens while I'm home I'll
unplug the external drive and run like H*ll! It has a current copy of
my OS partition and the data backups of and from various programs like
email, Quicken, newsgroups etc. If I leave for an extended period I
store the drive in a "safe" place.
