I don't know who you're referring to when you write "now you tell me..."
The path and file name is stored in the Family File. If you change the file name in Windows Explorer, Legacy doesn't know that and will continue to look for the file as it was originally linked, In Picture Center, you can rename the Family File and it will be changed in the database. There are certain punctuation marks which cannot be used in file names and file and folder names are best written without spaces - use an underscore or hypen if you need to break up words in a file name. T The reserved characters are \ / : * ?

There's also a lot of information on working with pictures in the Help file in Legacy.
