How to change your default images folder

The standard location that Joomla uses to store images is /images/stories. If you don't like this, you can change it:

1. Login to Administrator as demonstrated in lesson 6 of our free Joomla tutorial and go to Global Configuration
2. Click on the System link
   
3. Next to Path to Image Folder enter the location you would like to use; for example a lot of people prefer to use just images
   
4. Click Save in the top right

WARNING: do not delete or rename the /images/stories folder on your hosting account. It is used elsewhere and if Joomla can't find it, you may experience some errors.
