Yes you can, and I do it all the time. I copy the pictures to "My Pictures" folder. If you OPEN the DCIM folder by clicking on it, then SELECT ALL, then choose copy. Now close your camera folder. and OPEN "My Pictures" and then choose PASTE, all your pics should be inserted into "MY PICTURES". The reason your pics are deleted even after you've renamed them is because your OS is only copying them as shortcuts. If you don't want to copy or paste, next time you try to save one of your pics, hold down the shift key while dragging your pic to your folder and it won't move it as a shortcut. Hope this helps.

You could try a factory reset, but that would wipe out your address book, among other things. If you want to try anyway, type *#7370# on the phone. It should reboot then ask for a lock key - that's 12345 by default (unless you've changed it).

If I am to understand you correctly you are telling me you are using Kodak software that was installed in a used computer that you bought. If this is the case then you need to uninstall this program and install the Kodak software that came with YOUR CAMERA. The program you are trying to use may not be compatible with your camera !

Backup your photos and try resetting the Gallery data. Do this by going to Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> Gallery -> Clear data.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Windows Photo Gallery and Picasa.

You may have your photo gallery set to erase after downloads. You need to change that. Pics erased on your computer will still register as files on your camera even though you can't see them. You need to format the card in the camera. If you can't change the settings in your photo gallery, you could use a card reader and download to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can transfer them to photo gallery and your originals are still on the memory card.

I finally figured it out. Somehow I had messed with the Autoplay settings uploading pics the last time I guess. Anyways, if you experience this problem, check this out first and see if it fixes it for you before you do anything else:

What if the import dialog box doesn't appear? If the dialog box prompting you to import your pictures doesn't appear when you connect the camera to your computer, AutoPlay might be turned off. You can import your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery instead. Here's how:
1. Open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.
2. On the toolbar, click File, and then click Import from Camera or Scanner.
3. In the Import Pictures and Videos dialog box, choose your camera from the list of devices, and then click Import.
If you prefer, you can turn on AutoPlay or set AutoPlay to automatically import pictures from a digital camera. For more information, see Change AutoPlay Settings.

Are they in the appropriate Folders ..

Possibly overloaded.
The phone needs some memory to operate.
When you take a pic you can choose where to store it.
If you store a pic on your phone memory and them move it to a folder, and you later on decide to delete the pic from the phone memory it also deletes from the folder.
