Custom billboards not showing image options?

[ex0planetary]

I was playing through the tutorials in RCT3 Wild, and the last tutorial required me to make a custom billboard. However, the game will not show any images in my Pictures folder, and so I cannot finish the tutorial. Is this because it is looking at "C:/Users/[my account name]/Documents/My Pictures" instead of "C:/Users/[my account name]/Pictures"?

It's either that or it doesn't have permission to access it. There are several tutorials (Just google "rct3 custom billboards") and even a Guide on how to fix the issue. I'm not sure which method is best, but most seem to revolve around deleting the standard directory and recreating it. IMO, there should be an easier way, but I haven't messed around with fixes, yet. (New Player, here.)

OK, this seems better than deleting any standard OS directory inclusions:

2(B). Known issues and fixes
[A] - "The Picture Issue"
Because RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was made for Windows XP and earlier versions, it is looking for a "My Pictures" folder to take photos that you input to be used in game-play and parks. Once Windows Vista was released, Microsoft changed the libraries, there is no more "My Pictures" folder. To fix this, just create a new folder named "My Pictures" under the "Documents" folder. Inside that "My Pictures" folder, create another folder labeled "RCT3", this should read photos you move into the "RCT3" folder to be visible in-game now.

I'll try it out and update if it doesn't work.

Update: This may not work exactly as it is written, depending upon your Windows version. (Windows's dynamic pointing directory junk will seek to prevent you naming another directory the same name as one that is dynamically named the same even if the actual directory name is different. ie: "pictures" is the target sub-d in Documents for "My Pictures."

The below should work:

Note: "rmdir" is the "remove directory" command. If you're going this route, make sure that directory is empty and has no subdirectories. If you don't care about those contents, you can probably use the "rmdir /s" command, which will delete all the contents of the targetted directory as well as its contained sub directories. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490990.aspx

Personally, I don't care to do this as I have other programs that look for the default My Pictures location.

I'm on Windows 10 and it doesn't let me create a new "My Pictures" folder because it says it already exists in my "Pictures" folder. Is there a way to change the folder destination the game recognizes?
