When in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, it seems that there are only
two options to save images to the hard drive. One is to click on the
Copy To icon and choose a folder. The other is to right click and
choose Send To>My Documents.

The problem is that I am viewing images from one folder and would like
to occaisionally save them to another. However, anytime I click the
icon it defaults to the folder I'm viewing from (which may not always
be the same folder or I could just put a shortcut in there).

Is there a way to save an image to a folder of my choosing without
having to search to it every time?

I'm not sure I understand this question but
if you open a folder, select one or more files
and look in your left pane you should see
"Copy this file" or "Copy the selected items".

Choosing this option will open your "Copy Items"
screen and allow you to browse to the folder
of choice.

That's the problem. It allows me to browse to the folder of my choice.
With most applications, whatever folder I browsed to last is the one it
goes to everytime during that session. But with Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer it always opens in the folder I'm viewing from. I'm just looking
to reduce the number of steps I have to take each time I want to save
to a folder. Maybe I'm being to picky.

True, but Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
is not an application it's a simple viewer
controlled by the shimgvw.dll file.

One option may be to open several folders
and just drag and drop the files.

Have you tried the freebie, Picasa2? You
may find it to be useful in viewing your image
files.
