Attaching pictures problem on hotmail

When I tried to attach a picture to an email, I clicked on the inline.  I can go to my pictures, but there are none in the folder, but of course there are.  Lots of them.   I tried just about everything.  Nothing allowed me to access my pictures folder so I could attach one to my email.   So, until this is fixed I just moved my pictures folder to My Documents and now I can attach one of the pictures.  It probably is not a good thing to have all of my pictures stored in My Documents, because there are many, many, many in that folder, but if it is the only way to attach them to emails, so be it.  Let me know when this issue is resolved.  And all the suggestions prior and all the steps do not work.   Sorry..........
